John Muir was a Scottish-American naturalist. He is most known for being the creator of the National Parks system. Muir was born in Dunbar, Scotland in 1838 to Daniel and Ann Gilrye Muir. He was his parents’ third child and first boy. His mother and grandfather helped foster a love of nature, but his father was stern.
Muri was inspired by nature from a young age. He recorded thoughts and pictures in a notebook to track his findings and learnings. He enjoyed spending time exploring a castle near his childhood home. At a young age, he moved from the beautiful nature of Scotland that he knew and loved to California.

Wrens are small, brown birds that are native to Ireland.
They tend to live in oak trees and are the only birds who sing in the winter. Wrens
are one of the most common birds to see around Ireland and live in a variety of
landscapes. They are known for their round bodies, cocked tail, and red-brown body
with a paler underbody.
The wren is known as the “King of the Birds.” They are native to Ireland and are known to be the wisest birds, even outsmarting the eagle. This is how they got their nickname in Ireland. Their name in Irish is “dreoilín”, which means trickster.
