Learning to Fly

Danielle found a baby bird hopping around in the mulch beds this morning. He started in our neighbor's bed and then hopped over to ours. Danielle was really worried about him at first, but once she backed off a little, the mommy bird came down and fed him. We didn't see where she was perched, but she must have been keeping an eye on him. She let him hop around and flap his wings for awhile by himself, then she would swoop down to check on him - just like every mommy with a growing chick has to do.






Danielle took some video.


And to follow up on a couple of my other posts:

Tyler moved up to the fifth grade reading level yesterday. Grandma R was kind enough to point out that most newspapers are written on a 5th grade level, so Tyler is technically reading at an adult level. That's pretty cool.

Tyler gave his presentation today and got the highest grade possible, an S+ (excellent).

I know that other kids read well and probably lots of the kids in Tyler's grade got high marks on their projects, but he's my son...this is my blog...and I'm proud of him.

The bird chirping peaked Eros' interest.
