Dear Birds

Well live and learn. Life is always surprising me. On Wednesday, I was out at the Jekyll Island Campground with the Binghams. They found some of the notes the kids had written to the birds. These notes were wonderful. Here a few examples:

Lessons I learned  1. Always encourage

2. listen

                                                                  3.  be surprised for they are listening too

Here is a note from the birds

Dear ones who watch, Thanks for the food and the quiet place to enjoy it.  THE BIRDS

Going To watch birds

Making new birders is a goal of mine so when Nell called me for a Bird Ramble with her granddaughter I went for it. It was a short Ramble. Lilith was right with me the whole time. On the beach, there were quite a few small horsecrabs. She had a blast finding them. It is important to make the connection between other creatures and the birds. We talked about the differences in the birds on the beach. Here is Lilith helping to finish some of the drawings. Toward the end of the Ramble she was looking for birds on her own. She had a great time.
