Last weekend, I took my daughter for an easy birding tour around a rural area close to home. A small congregation of shorebirds in a slightly flooded field tickled her. She enjoyed talking about the “big” and “small” yellowlegs! Her scope skills are have come along way.
After seeing her first Indigo Bunting, she was inspired to draw some birds of the day. Her depiction of the INBU on pink Hello Kitty notebook paper is adorable! Good thing we had crayons in the car for her impromptu field drawing.
Once we got home, she eagerly shared our trip list with mommy and her little brother. Eagles, killdeer, wood ducks, little blue herons, and the INBU appeared to be among her favorites. Naturally, the horses, cows, and foxes were exciting too!
