Our Trip to Camp du Nord ~ Ely, Minnesota

• Jun. 24, 2008 - Backyard Birding

Posted in June 2008

Yesterday I was trimming a vine on our fence, when I noticed this cute little nest among the leaves.  The boys were playing in the sprinkler, but they took a break to come see what I found. 

It's always exciting to find a bit of nature in our own backyard!  We have a small-sized city lot, so we feel pretty lucky when we can study nature so close to home.

Because the eggs are a pretty blue, we decided it must be a Robin's nest.  We checked out a little info online at Wikipedia about the American Robin to learn about our backyard friend.  Many times I'll go to Wikipedia first, then check out their links at the bottom.

Hawken is excited to go take another peek at the nest this morning...so gotta go!

About Us

Hi, and welcome to our blog! We're creating a love of learning with two creative, fun-loving boys. We use an eclectic approach to learning with Sonlight curriculum, Charlotte Mason ideals, and whatever else works for us along the way. The purpose of our blog is keep friends and family updated on our family-happenings, as well as give others a peek into our approach to learning. I also use it as a source of record-keeping, and a place to keep track of my random thoughts. If you have a moment, please leave us a comment. We love to know who's reading the blog. Thanks for visiting!
