Just as we were about to leave the little chicks began clambering for something to eat. So she opened her beak and they placed their beaks inside her beak to eat. We're not talking one at a time here...they both wanted it now! As you can imagine, we were delighted to watch them.


This year our nature study is focused on birds so this little lady is going to be Exhibit A. We plan to watch her and her babies closely every day to watch them grow. We'll be reading every book we can get our hands on that talk about the Mourning dove. This is, in my humble opinion, the best way to study Science.

We had one outside our bedroom window...it was really fun to watch! Man...they're noisy!
That's the best thing about homeschooling! What other child can get credit for watching Doves in a nest! Nothing beats a hands-on approach, and you'd never get that in a classroom.
J. R.- exactly the way I feel about it!
Better watch fast. Before you know it, they'll be flying away! Ha
