Traveling to Maine, we go through several states. Can you find them on a map? (Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, then Maine) This is a long drive -- some 20 hours -- but a beautiful and interesting one, too!

I took some pictures of farms and silos in the Pennsylvania countryside, because that is one of the last themes we talked about in Reading. Remember, the silos were used for storage? It's easy to see how important these are to farmers, even today.

Also we saw birds living in letters at (you guessed it!) Starbucks in Littleton, Massachusetts. Remember our story "Urban Roosts" and how it talked about the interesting places that birds could find to roost? Finally, the Hartford Connecticut skyline is really neat. Think about how city wildlife might survive in this habitat.
