Our bird feeder is jumping. And Lily and Ollie are competent little bird watchers and namers. Mostly we see cardinals, blue jays, mourning doves and an occasional chipmunk. Today Lily asked about mourning doves–if the boy looks different than the girl. I told her I wasn’t sure, that I hadn’t noticed a difference. She said that she was pretty sure the girl doves are the same as the boys, just with eyelashes. Mourning Doves
Loved Lily’s comment! But just an FYI – they are mourning doves, not morning doves. I suppose because of their sad songs. Found this link that might be of interest to you & the kids.
