Wetland Wonders: The World of Frogs, Dragonflies, & Ducks!

Thursday afternoons May 15th, 22nd & 29th from  4 pm – 5:30 pm

Fee: $55

Class #116227

Magnuson Park is also home to one of the largest populations of tree frogs and dragonflies in the Puget Sound area!  We’ll take pond water samples to explore the world “down under” to see how many tadpoles, froglets, and dragonfly nymphs are getting ready to take off to the sky or a nearby tree, and guess how many bugs it takes to feed a duck for a day. We’ll count the families of ducklings, make duck identification guides, and much much more!
