Good evening! Today, we went on a field-trip after piano lessons. It was at a lady's house who "raises" bluebirds. She built houses for them in a beautiful field that has mowed paths and lots of little marshes and ponds. I'm so glad we went. It was much more fun than doing book-work. And, I got some good pictures. :)
Here is a frog that Josiah found while we were still at piano lessons.
On to the field-trip and seeing the bluebirds!
She made little "feeding stations" at almost every house. We watched as she dumped some meal-worms in the little container and then called to the birds to come get them. :)
Here is a pair of bluebirds that came to the container at the same time.
I snapped a lot of pictures of these two. I was hoping to get at least one picture of both of them looking at me.
Here is my favorite one of this pair. :) I like how you can see the worm in the females mouth.
A goose on top of an old fishing shack.
Another pair of bluebirds.
This time, I got the female still in mid-air, before she landed on the house.
A Tree Swallow
One of the paths we walked. Isn't it beautiful? I told mom I would just go out and watch the birds every day. :) It would be so relaxing.
Checking the eggs in one of the houses.
Here is a swallow in a house. Aren't they so cute??
The clearing where we checked another house to find that, sadly, a Sparrow had gotten into it and killed the mother bluebird, who was laying on four eggs. It was terribly sad...
I guess that's all! I hope you enjoyed the pictures, because I enjoyed taking them. :)
Have a blessed week!
