Earth Day

This morning during breakfast I explained to the kids that today is Earth Day. We talked about things we do and could do to help the earth. I then asked asked them what special project they wanted to do today to help. Riley asked if they could help the birds. We all loaded in the car and went on an adventure to find a bird feeder and bird seed.

When we got home the kids filled the feeder up.


Spent a lot of time watching out the window for some bird action.


They came slowly at first.



Then they came fast and furious. We had doves, robins, red-winged black birds, a blue jay and brown-head cowbirds (thanks to the Internet for the name of that last one).



Six hours later....their cupboards are bare.
