Today's Science Lesson

Pre-home school days, if my kids said, "There's a trail of blood in the snow- we're going to follow it to see what happened" I probably would have been quite disturbed.

But when that came out of Claire's mouth today, I thought "OK. I wonder what they will find. What a great science lesson." My, how times have changed.


Can you guess what it is?

The owl that came last year has come back- along with two hawks. These hawks have been watching the owl, and we were afraid it had finally gotten its' prey. We were happy to be wrong, as this is a pigeon.

Don't worry, the girls didn't touch them or anything. And, our neighbor who loves birds, came over with plastic everything to clean the bird up for us, which was very nice of her.

The circle of life in our own backyard can be quite cruel sometimes.
