Blue Bird Paper Plate Craft

The summer season is here! We have already been taking advantage of the summer months by swimming and bike riding every day. We have also started a new hobby this summer, right in our very own backyard — bird watching!

We have a pretty great set up right now for our birds and forest friends to visit. We currently have our bird feeder, bird bath, and plenty of bird seed out for the birds. Every day, my husband and I watch the variety of birds that visit.

We see cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, doves, brown thrashers, titmice, black birds, and other types of birds that we are still trying to identify! We invite the kids to quietly come watch the birds with us. This has been a learning experience for all of us and we learn something new about the birds that visit each day.

If you are interested in learning more about birds, I recommend setting up a safe space in your yard for backyard birds to visit! We do see other critters like squirrels, rabbits, salamanders, butterflies, dragonflies, and more! (Yes, we did see a non-venomous snake this week!)
