Baby Birds in the Courtyard

The children discovered a nest while gardening in the courtyard.  The children continued to watch each day and discovered a mother bird with eggs in the nest.  A few days later the children discovered baby birds in the nest.  We were even able to observe the mother bird feeding the baby birds some worms.  We continued to check on the babies every day and watched them grow.  One day we went out to check and only two of the four birds were in the nest.  We shared the news with the Kindergarten children.  The Kindergarten children went to the courtyard to check it out and discovered two of the baby birds trying to learn to fly.  They were making tiny little hops. The next day all of the birds were out of the nest and we found only one bird still trying to fly. It has been such am amazing experience to watch these baby birds.
