The Bird Sanctuary

We went to the Bird Sanctuary last Monday for the day. You see, we all thought it was going to be somewhat cold but it ended up being the nicest day of the week!! We all wore pants and sweaters! It ended up being like 25°C! Poor us! lol.

When we got there, it looked like a national park in BC without the mountains and the trees were bigger. You see, you would NEVER think there would be birds migrating there! But when you step out of the car, your in a whole new world of different birds and different sounds! You really need to look and listen to the birds in order to see the different types! My goodness! There were SOOOOO many different kinds just within the Sanctuary! We saw small ones full of colors, big bright blue ones, big white ones, small ones with a skinny beak...plus much more! We saw a great haron and a stork. Along with catfish and water buffalo! Oh and little cute turtles!!! Just all kinds of wildlife within a wetland!

So, at the sanctuary they have a 4D movie about the bird migrations! Ha ha ha........I hated it. Yes the seats move and there was mist and wind....but half way through the movie these bug things went up my WHOLE body including my legs! I was SOOOOO creeped out! But they were not just little taps..they were hard!! I was totally freaked out! But, I learned so much about the birds migrations and how they all come from north and south America and Africa, Asia and so many more countries and they come to migrate in Israel! It's amazing that they come to the holy land to migrate! I just think it's a beautiful thing.

It was such an educational day!!!
