The Hylian Bestiary; Thursday, Third Period [01/12].

The class would be meeting in the Danger Shop this week! How exciting!

Well, Sidon clearly was excited for it, that bouncing energy radiating off of him as everyone came in to what was a nice, tranquil meadow, bright with wildflowers, with a copse of trees gathered around a sizeable pond on one end, snowy mountains looming up ahead to another, and the slope of a hill down to the sandy beach and the sea on another. And, in the last direction, things got a bit rocky and coarse. Basically, a setting that seemed to represent most of the different landscapes one might find around Hyrule.

And one might also notice, in land and sea and air, an abundance of birds.

"Welcome back!" Sidon greeted them eagerly. "I hope you're all ready for another exciting look at more Hylian creatures! Now, while we started with the mighty cucco, who is absolutely a rare and unique bird to Hyrule specifically," and therefor did not in any way resemble any sort of Earth bird at all, really!, "there are many other birds that roost in the skies and trees of my wondrous homeland that are a little less...unique, when compared to the kinds of birds you may find right here in this world! Still, we will spend some time getting to know them as well, and today, we're going Hylian bird watching!

"I have for everyone not only some binoculars to help you search the skies, but also, a handy guide to the most common Hylian birds, which includes helpful pictures and information about them! Take some time to look it over, ask me any questions if you have them, and then I'd like you to set forth! Either on your own or with a friend, if you'd like to partner up, to seek out and find at least three of them! There is a spot in the back of your guides for you to make your own observations and thoughts about their appearance, their behavior, their songs, where you've found them, or whatever else you'd like to include, but I would like you all to make some observations and I will collect them at the end of the class!

"But...enough time wasted with talk!" Sidon flashed them a grin. "Go forth and find some birds! I'll be happy to help, if you need it. There's also some birdseed if you'd like to try to entice them with treats, and keep in mind that some of them are not only quite skittish, but they are quite fast, too, so you may have to be both cautious and quick to get a good look at them! Any questions before we begin?"

Ooooh! Bird watching! Graham loved bird watching, and he was especially excited because he'd never used binoculars before, and spent a good portion of the time once they were let loose just sort of admiring them and getting used to them, and looking at everything with them.

"Zouuuuunds!" he said, peering through them across the ocean side. "I think I can see my house from here!"

Eventually, though, he did settle the binoculars down to flip through the guide a little bit, wondering where to start, and also wondering if Hylian birds spoke the same bird language as Llewdorian ones, but, hey! There was only one way to find out!
