I Heard A Bird Mom!

Grace and Jack have a new sensitivity to bird sounds. They will run in from various rooms in the house, saying, "Mom! I hear a bird!" while the radio is playing loudly or Ken and I are talking. Today I watched from a window as they turned instantly in the direction of a blue jay screeching while they were outside. With interest, they began to creep up the stairs on our lawn to see how close they could get to our neighbor's birch tree (the retreat for the birds between seeding collecting).
