Spring is Here and it's Time to Learn All About Birds! A Great Learning Website

Website: All About Birds

A friend of mine with little ones at home (preschool aged) found this fun and exciting teaching site dedicated to the thrill of learning about birds. I have to admit that I'm somewhat of a bird watcher myself, but at the same time will confess that 9 times out of 10 have no clue what I'm seeing out my front window! lol

We've been seeing a lot of Cardinals and Blue Jays lately, but scores of other birds have also been visiting our pear tree in the front yard and the little bare bushes surrounding the base of our home. It's a lot of fun to watch them hop around, dance through the branches of our still naked tree, and tweet at one another in their special way. We especially get excited when the more colorful birds come for a visit, since we have yet to see Spring bring forth any other forms of color and in fact had another snowfall just yesterday! Needless to say, we weren't amused.

Would you like to teach your homeschooled children all about the beauty of birds? Would you like to learn where America's birds live season to season? What they sound like? What they're behavior looks like, and what type of habitat they gravitate too?

One of the prettiest little birds I've come across on this site is the Eastern Bluebird. The adult male carries a beautiful shade of blue that you won't want to miss! I'd love to see this little guy sitting in my front yard waiting for some unsuspecting insect to crawl by. lol

Here is a beautiful photo of one of my all time favorites... the Blue Jay... which as I mentioned before we've been seeing a lot of just as of late. Just gorgeous! I had to include his mugshot in this post. Blue has always been one of my favorite colors, anytime of year, but especially in the Winter and Spring I love to see these colorful birds visit our home. They're a gift from God on an otherwise cloudy and gray day.

We saw a Blue Jay in our church parking lot this morning and my son asked if we could take him home with us. lol Of course we let him be (not that we could have caught him anyway)... but we thought it was cool that he was so interested in the sweet little gift from above. :o)
