Bird Watching!

I really thought the highlight of the week would be acting out the Gingerbread Man/Baby/Boy stories. Little did I know that the best experience would be totally unplanned, and amazing to everyone!

We have a bird feeder outside of our window, and usually we see a couple of chickadees and a tufted titmouse or two. On Tuesday, January 29th, there were birds at our feeder and in the bushes below eating berries! We saw several ROBINS, blue jays, a male cardinal, cedar waxwings, tufted titmice, sparrows, chickadees and a downy woodpecker!

The children were SO excited! “Look! A Robin! I see it! And another! And another! A cedar waxwing! Where? Where? Look at the chickadee! Oh, how cute!”

Several children thought the birds should here other birdcalls, so they had all the toy birds singing!
