First we got together for a short class session. |

While on a hike through the property we saw a turket nest containing old eggs. |
| Doug was about to put us to work |
 |
 |
He had cut up a tree, and we were to help use the tree and brush to construct a rabbit shelter. First the larger logs were used for the base. |
| Then the smaller stuff was used to consrtuct the canopy. |

| Doug took us to the old log house - built about 1850. |
|
|
The we took some of the branches left over from the rabbit hide-away to put in the pond to make cover and protection for frogs and salamanders |
 |
 |
Some were stopped by a frog. |

Then a few needed to leave while Doug took the rest of us to see some other types of habitats. On the way back to the vehicles we were treated to a serenade by a couple Whip-poor-wills
