Bald Eagle


One of Leif’s favorite exhibits at the Roger Williams Zoo was the bald eagles. He wanted, of course, to do a bald eagle project to honor these magnificent birds.

Screech Owl


Sitting on the porch last night, we had the opportunity to hear several owls hooting at each other. Leif asked me to look them up, so we searched google images for owl pix. Leif was inspired by a screech owl, so this bird was born today of a google image.

Hummingbird


Today on our feeder were several hummingbirds, many different colors and shapes. Leif wanted to do a hummingbird project and made up imaginary colors. It doesn’t resemble anything we saw today but I think its brilliant!

Forest Project


Inspired by the moose sighting on our street that we both missed, Leif wanted to do a forest project. Sounded good to me, we used stickers and traced other animals. In this project are deer, turtle, fish, flying ducks, and interestingly enough... no moose.. :)

Cormorant


One of the highlights of the day was seeing a cormorant dive for its food, coming up with a beautiful, shimmering fish. When we got home, of course, our mission was to recreate the cormorant. Awesome!
