Activity #1: I'm really enjoying the Wall of Birds with my 5-year-old grandson. Each time he comes over, we look at and read about a different bird, starting with the ones near us in Ohio. We really like the Great Blue Heron and have one that flies over our village a lot.
When my grandson was born, I spent a lot more time sitting on my swing in the back yard, letting the baby sleep in my arms. I hadn't realized that there was a downy woodpecker living in/around my yard until then. I spent a lot of time enjoying the sights of the baby and the woodpecker!
