Neither heat nor storms stop the Striders

5/28/2019

The Striders participated in the Medina Half and the New Moon Quarter Marathon in Delaware as well as the Field of Heroes 5K on Sunday. The storm that went through Delaware on Saturday only resulted in a 5 minute race delay and cooler temperatures. The Field of Heroes 5K was delayed by a half hour.

Glacier Ridge -- Or Birding 101

5/21/2019

Our first group walk at Glacier Ridge Metro Park was Saturday, May 18. Despite a few people getting lost, we had a great turnout. (Why didn't we take photos!)

But if you want to get the most out of this park, walk with Jim! We learned so much about every bird we saw or heard. Want to know why each bird house has one bird standing on it? Jim will know!

This park is beautiful, though somewhat confusing. Even those of us who did not get lost on the way to the park got turned around once we were in it. Regardless, it was a great walk in a very pretty park! I'm looking forward to returning.

(The few photos I did take were deleted from my phone! This is from the Glacier Ridge website. I have no idea if we even saw this bird.)
