Bird Watching and Forest Time

 Never a dull moment in forest. It feels like it has been forever since we have been there, yet it's only been a week. We love our time exploring nature and going on adventures in The Forest. The perfect spring weather had the birds VERY active today. We heard several bird calls and spent most of our time following their songs and trying to figure out what kind of bird we were hearing. We were able to identify a titmouse, cardinal, finch and owl! Can you believe the huge barred owl was back? We followed it as it flew from tree to tree and finally landed in a hole in a tree branch. (See picture below!) After a little research we discovered that based on the time line of when owls lay their eggs and how long it takes for them to hatch there were most likely owlets in the nest!

If you ever want to experience a little nature, take a walk to The Forest, sit back, listen and watch. It is amazing what we are able see when we slow down and look around. 

We also carefully and cautiously explored the mud. These friends were playing "Christmas Morning." They worked for 10 minutes trying to get their tree to stand up and built a fire to keep them warm. 

Look at this line, it's making a mini water mud stream.

These make good firewood.

This can be our bed. 

Other happenings in the Forest!

I am digging up the earth!

This is my dog. His name is "Blue Dog."

I dropped my cell phone, but I have $1,000 to buy a new one. 

Have a wonderful Tuesday!
