Bird Log 8/4

Today the girls and I tried to build a bird’s nest. We took down the one built by robins that was under the north eave of the cabin and tried to copy the design. It wasn’t easy, in fact we failed to make it even a tenth as strong or comfortable as our model. We had profound admiration for birds as green designer/builders. But even if ours could not be moved without falling to pieces, the girls put soft leaves, moss and bright purple flowers in the center and it was beautiful.
