Bird Brains

Birds have been our focus lately and we can't seem to get enough. After seeing an Eagle at Grey's Lake a few weeks ago, Ethan has been hooked. About every other large bird we see in the sky, he asks if it is an Eagle or a Hawk.

Our wonderful neighbors, when we told them of his interest, gave us a link to watch a Bald Eagle nest in Decorah, Iowa. It has been amazing and we can't wait to see the babies hatch soon.



Derrick may think we are silly while we sit infront of the computer, sketching the Eagle in her nest and watching in awe as she stands to rotate her eggs... but I think it is pretty cool to hear and see an Eagle up close, and as long as Ethan enjoys it... we will tune in to watch her.

Someone else in the house has caught the bird bug... and I am so excited to see this. During storytime the other day, I snapped these pictures of Everett, quitely exploring a bird book while Ethan and I read. Adorable!
