First Nature Study

Saturday, we did our first Nature Study. We were on the way to get Sierra some shoes, and we stopped by Chick-fil-a. As we were eating our biscuits in the car, we noticed a bird hopped onto the hood of the van. He continued to hop all the way up to the windshield as if he wanted to say, "Hey, my friends and I would enjoy some breakfast." I didn't think Sparrows and or Wrens ate biscuits. However, I was proved wrong. We tossed out bits of our biscuit to watch the birds grab a bite and retreat to the bushes nearby. One bird got a large piece of biscuit and flew further away from the other birds. We guessed that he realized the had his breakfast platter and wanted to eat in solitude. The birds were very polite. You could tell they were not Blue Jays or Crows because they took turns. After about 5 minutes, all the birds were full and our study was over. This study was not planned, we didn't have our camera, or our sketch books but we witnessed nature in action. We could not have asked for a better Nature Study.
