Backyard Birding

It is currently the middle of the winter here and has been a while since our last post.  We are in the full throes of the school year with both boys at home.  While our oldest is pretty independent in terms of his schooling, I, understandably, have had my hands full with a boisterous second grader.  While we have continued to walk around where we live and go hiking on the weekends, it has been challenging to find the time to post anything on the blog (I'm already longing for spring break 😉).  It has also gotten downright cold.  Right now it is 28° and very windy, and sadly, we have had only one snow day. A big highlight lately though has been a pair of bird feeders that we received for Christmas from Nonni and Pop Pop.  My parents came over to help us set it up and show us how everything works.  We were warned it could take weeks for the birds to find the feeder and/or feel comfortable enough to use it.  We were thrilled when it took the birds 1 day to find and start using it!  Af
