Camp Snyder Nature Hike

At Camp Snyder, we took a pretty cool nature hike through an open meadow and small woodsy area. We saw many cool plants and animals. Some I caught on camera, like those below, and some I only saw, but couldn't get a photo of (like the cool Indigo Bunting, the first I've ever seen!).
