Diamond Fork Canyon was a great field trip.  First we went on a hike.  We saw lots of cows (and a few cow pies), and got to go in a tepee.  We learned about elk and deer.  Next we learned about birds and many different things about feathers, like how the boys are colorful to attract female birds and the girls have brown feathers to blend in to protect their babies.  We identified birds in a book.  After lunch we went on a scavenger hunt for leaves.  We found a lot of different leaves.  Last we tested the water in the river.  Then we put on huge waders, got in the stream, and caught bugs with little nets.  We matched the bugs to a chart to make sure the water was clean.  The field trip was awesome!
