Winged Creatures of the 5th Day




We have been studying birds for the past couple of months. It really has been interesting and I have learned a lot. (I hope the kids have.) Anyway, yesterday and the day before, we (daddy) made a birdhouse and a bird feeder. And he cleaned the Hummingbird feeder.

We are hoping to make the backyard a kind of bird sanctuary. I was looking into a birdbath, but our neighbor said they get real dirty, real fast and end up being more of a potty than a bath. I can't even keep our baths clean so we will probably pass on the birdbath.

We have two Live Oaks, a Red Maple, a Tulip Poplar, some type of Evergreen and some huge bushy looking tree thing. All ready for our new feathered friends. As far as birds go, we already have Cardinals, Mockingbirds and an occasional Blue Bird. So we are well on our way.

It will be fun to look out the window to see what other types of birds show up . . .
