We searched the cattails for redwing blackbird nests but had no luck. O. made her own nest on a secret island she and D. discovered. D. and I decided on a fort area that had a pretend doorbell and a secret password. The password changes frequently, so it is safe to tell you that the first time it was, “Fiddle head island.” I have already forgotten what it was the second time. We also tried catching water bugs but they were too fast for us.
