The Learning Umbrella

And no, I don't mean avian flu. I mean that all of a sudden everyone seems interested in bird watching. My in-laws just got back from Mexico, and today I visited with Sandra and she told me about their bird watching adventures down there. She thinks she may be hooked, even though it was mostly just Fred interested before. And on the backyard front, Carbon and I made a bird feeder on Tuesday and he hung it up outside today. He spent a lot of time checking on it through the window, and he's really excited by each and every bird he sees. So far it's just crows and sparrows, but he's not bored yet. I really wish I had a digital camera, but I'm going to have to get my film developed and then scan in a picture of him making the feeder. It was cute.
