American Goldfinch

I just had to post this photo that Jessica (11) took of a goldfinch out by our bird feeder. What an awesome shot!

And here's a bunny we saw next door. I tried to get a good shot but he turned away and scampered off. A crow was chasing him.

Fox Sparrow

We just love this little bird -- the Fox Sparrow! It is so fun to watch as it scratches/hops along the ground. It also has a lovely song!

Mourning Dove

This is a photo we took yesterday in our yard. We thought at first that it was the Willow Ptarmigan sporting its summer plumage. When we downloaded our pics and checked it out, we realized it was a Mourning Dove. According to the information we read, they aren't even supposed to be in Newfoundland, but we know there's at least ONE! :-)

Squirrel

We got a few pics of a squirrel on a snow bank by our house.

We also caught a Squirrel munching on a berry from one of our trees. I love the way his nose looks.

Snowfort

We had lots of fun in the last few days, why you ask? because we made a big snow fort it has two rooms and three tunnels, its lots of fun it's like a mini home.







Sorry no pic.

looking up

More books from the library, I find so many facts from books. a couple weeks ago I got a Guinness world records book from the library and there was a picture of a red wood tree over twice the height of the Statue of Liberty, it would be a sight to see.

Fooled ya

We got a book from Scholastic about Rocks and Minerels and I was just reading it, and now I know what Fools gold is, it's actually called Pyrite, and I think it looks like a golden diamond up close.

Im a CAT

Larry Heaney, of annapolis, maryland, owned a cat with the word "CAT'' spelled out in his fur!

lots of birds

In the past couple of weeks a lot of birds have been coming to our bird feeders. The most common bird is probably the pine siskins, and sometimes our bird feeders fly away in the wind.

Where are the the turkeys

I got a Ripleys belive it or not book from the library and a fact I found is that there are no turkeys in Turkey!☺

Spiders

Yesterday we got a book from the library about spiders I read it all and I loved it here is somthing cool I learned was that spiders have different kinds of silk, a spiders silk can be sicky, fluffy, stretchy, and sronger than STEEL!!! I learned a lot about spiders in the book and it was fun.

I found a ladybug on our bathroom wall, and i wanted to keep it. That night he got lost. The next morning my mom found him by a window. We gave him sugar water and he ate it.

I put the ladybug in a contaner since we couldn't put him outside, because of the snow.

After one day i decided to take him out of the contaner, and put him on one of our houseplants.

Redpolls are back

The birds of the north just came in yesterday. They are very easy to tell apart because of their red cap. their favorite thing to eat around here is small sunflower seeds.

Help me

When fire blazed through Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Pub Derbyshire, England, Henry the parrot squawked "Hello" until a firefighter rescued him.

So fun ^_^

Me and my brother made an awesome ramp to fly jumps on last night. It took us about 2 hours to create it, but it was worth it :P

Today we have a really big snow storm,

it's like a BIG fog.
