Yesterday morning Jacob and I carried out our one hour bird watch. Jacob was very grudging to begin with but we sat in the sunroom opposite the bird feeder so he could multitask, eating breakfast while bird watching, that way it didn't really take up any valuable map drawing/bone collecting/reading Guinness book of records time. Here is what we saw.
- Downie Woodpecker
- American Goldfinch
- White Breasted Nuthatch
- Red Bellied Woodpecker
- Rose Breasted Grosbeak
- Blue Jay
I am happy to say that this morning he correctly spotted a blue jay, downie woodpecker and american goldfinch so although he still can't remember the names of any flowers and doesn't know the difference between a pigeon and a seagull he can identify three wild birds. I'm happy with that. Anyway, here they both are posing with the crazy bird feeder made from copper plumbing.
So despite the weather and the lack of enthusiasm we kind of got through a shortened version of everything this week. Nature inspired butterfly and flower cupcakes probably helped.

I don't think anything was particularly popular, not enough for final favourites for sure and our flowers remain stubbornly white. Rose has been particularly interested in the Canadian Wild Flower guide book and has spent a considerable amount of time reading it to me so perhaps I have awakened an interest in at least one of them.
