One for the Birds

Elias was lucky enough to accompany my mom on a bird watching trip out on Sauvie Island this morning.  They were able to go to a plethora of different spotting sites and look through scopes to see an amazing number of birds, primarily raptors.  Elias came home and was giddy to announce his new found professional aspiration: ornithologist. He started his own "ornithologist's notebook" with a list of some of the birds they were lucky enough to see this morning.  I offer it here in all its cute kindergarten, phonetically-spelled glory:



(eagle, falcon, turkey vulture)

(owl, seagull, pigeon, finch)
(heron, hawk, sand hill crane, egret, woodpecker)

If I can get my act together, I might be able to actually give you another taste of my Sunday love story tomorrow . . .but seriously, the above is a result of that love story. What could be better than that?
