Our Neighbor, the Bird Watcher

We live next door to an elderly couple and the husband is an avid bird watcher. What a great opportunity for G to learn about birds in a real and hands-on way! Our neighbor is more than happy to teach us everything he knows about birds. Yesterday, he showed us the bluebirds that have made a nest in one of his bird houses. We also got to see the nest itself and the 5 little eggs that are in it. He says that if all goes well, we should be seeing baby bluebirds next week! His yard is all decked out with bird gear: bird baths, bird houses and bird feeders. He's got different types of birdseed for different types of birds, and he is teaching us about the behaviors of the birds that come around our neighborhood. We're looking forward to feeding some of them out of our hands!
