Thank you for the wonderful link to the Cornell Un. Feeder Bird Coloring Book. I know my kids will love those pages for their notebooking!
We have used that bird coloring book so much over the years, in so many ways. Enjoy!
Yes, Thank you so much Barb! We have hummingbirds like crazy around here. Anxious to start our “Bird” study. So far, lots of Robins and Hummingbirds. 🙂 Happy Spring!
Hummingbirds are such a great bird study! I hope you have a lot of fun…yes, happy spring!
Thanks so much for the link to the coloring book Barb. It’s absolutely fantastic. I’m not sure which spring bird we are going to do yet but I am so looking forward to April’s challenges :o)
