Isn’t it the truth, we learn our most valuable lessons from our children. I believe that is what it means to enter heaven through a child’s eyes.

MamaPost,
I think maybe my comment on the osprey didn’t go through. I looked ospreys up in my field guide and discovered that they are grouped with Hawks, Kites, Eagles, and Allies in the Family Accipitridae, so “a kind of hawk” is absolutely the right answer. In fact, I’m just remembering that I’ve heard ospreys called “fish hawks.”

Comment on Audubon Songbirds Calendar by metasilk

Dear Gale,

No, this one doesn’t have 365 different birds; sometimes you’ll even have 2 pictures of, say, chickadees in one month. Sometimes a picture isn’t suited for the vertical orientation, and they use it to span two days. Despite that, it’s visually bright and interesting, and the repetition is of course very helpful for learning!

Little Birder’s Mother,

What a great way to use the Audubon Calendar! I haven’t seen it, but it sounds like a useful tool. Do they really offer good pictures of 365 different birds?
