Okay, this week’s nature study focus continued on birds, specifically the goldfinch, meadowlark and feathers. We had a very nice neighborhood walk and observed many things but nary a feather at all. Sigh.
We did spot a lot of mushrooms. This tiny one caught our eyes. Ds4 for some reason has really been into mushrooms and he was excited to find so many.
See how excited? ;)
On our way home one of our kitties, Smokey, decided to join in on the walk.
Crazy cat thinks he’s a dog!
Ds3 says, “See you guys later!”
At home we learned about the 6 types of feathers, the 3 main parts, and ds3 colored a goldfinch for his journal. We are really enjoying our bird study and I think it has made the boys more aware of the birds and bird activity in our neighborhood.
Peeve has killed a bird and left the feathers in the garage for us so we wouldn't have to go far to do this study!
