It’s a beautiful day! \u00a0When you look at the trees outside, do you see any crows? \u00a0They are everywhere and miss everyone coming to school too! \u00a0They watch us play outside and when we go in, it’s their turn to swoop down and search for any snacks we may have left behind. \u00a0Inside our StrongStart room, there are two blackbirds that sit up in the branch behind me at circle time. \u00a0To these two crows we say this rhyme:<\/p>\n

Two little blackbirds<\/p>\n

Sitting in a tree<\/p>\n

One named Jessica<\/p>\n

One named Lee<\/p>\n

Fly away, Jessica<\/p>\n

Fly away, Lee<\/p>\n

Come back, Jessica<\/p>\n

Come back, Lee<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What other birds do you see outside? \u00a0These are some that I’ve seen lately.<\/p>\n

Sparrow<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stellar’s Jay (do you Marble the Rabbit in this photo?)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chickadee<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and 2 Flickers<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some birds, like Eagle and Hummingbird, I usually hear before I see!<\/p>\n

Take a closer look at birds and everything around you with a pair of binoculars!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It only takes a few minutes to make a pair together with a few things from around the house.<\/p>\n

You will need a paper tube, scissors, and tape (or a stapler, or a glue gun). \u00a0String is optional and shouldn’t be so long that it can fit over a child’s head!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Together with your adult, cut tube to desired length:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tie knots to the ends of a short piece of string (this will keep it from slipping out):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wrap tubes together with tape, attaching string as you go:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happy birding! \u00a0Tell me your stories of the things you see!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
