On the 24th of March A.C.T.I.O.N. went with Rocking the Boat to go rowing on the Bronx River. But before we went out into the water, Tony (Rocking the Boat Job Skills Director) had us play a game that required us to match pictures of the various birds we know about. After the game we seperated into groups, put on our PFDs (Personal Floatation Device) and hit the water. We all felt it was a great experience because it let us see the different birds we have been studying about first hand. Some of the birds we saw while learning to row were Canadian geese, black-backed seaguls, ducks, and kilda birds. It is vital for us to get all the experience required in rowing so we will be able to row ourselves all the way to North Brother Island against natures obstables. Wish us luck on our journeys!!!
