Science experiement

We studied birds a couple of weeks ago and learned about some birds commonly found in our area, and now Beth has been very interested in birdwatching. Every morning at breakfast we open our blinds and look outside to see what birds we can identify- the usual ones we see are cardinals, robins, mockingbirds, doves, and some little brown birds. Since Beth doesn't like to eat crusts on her bread, we've been saving them in a bowl and letting them dry out, and on Saturday Daddy helped her get them ready for the birds. Beth crushed them up then threw them out on our back porch. Unfortunately the huge flock of robins in our yard on Sunday morning didn't notice them, so the crumbs are still sitting out on our patio! But Beth anxiously waits for the birds to come eat them- maybe next time we'll just save them up for some ducks and turtles at a pond!

I hope the birdies come to visit Beth's crumbs soon. Wildlife is so much fun!
