Interview with Laurel Dell Students

When water heads down the headlands, it travels down to the valley floor where plants filter it.  If plants aren’t there, because of construction, then the water will be dirtier or there will be pollution runoff.

Watershed  Wonder

 

We heard a quiet stream whispering at Schollenberger Park.

The creeping river splashes over the smooth rocks.

I dangle my feet in the icy cold water.

I feel the fish tickling my toes.

 

Small tadpoles flick their tails swimming slowly home.

They eat the tiny green leaves floating in the cool water.

A black fish nibbles on a sour plant.

 

The frogs croak in the evening as the crickets chirp loudly.

A red and black ladybug lands quietly in the green, green grass.

A fast bird plunges in the water to grab his prey and flies back up into the night sky.

 

A small ruddy duck is submerged for a long period of time

searching hopefully for a fish.

 

The red tail hawk flies over the blue house, perches on

a tree and looks for prey.

The beautiful one lands in silence near a flowing river.

A Canada goose flies gently through the sky life a

leaf falling off a tree.

She waddles slowly out of the pond.

 

Mom and baby mallard duck fly over the glistening marsh,

as their friends waddle in the shimmering lake looking for food to eat.

The gentle bird lands softly near the running water.
