Just thought I would share a quick story with you about something in our front yard. My sister, Mabry, has been studying about birds and loves them a LOT. Well, it seems like God has given Mabry a miracle- we never really have seen any nest around our house before Mabry started studying birds, but when Mabry started the study, a
scarlet tanager built it's nest in my favorite oak tree right outside Mabry's window! A scarlet tanager is also a bird that we have never seen before! So we watched the mommy bird care for her babies when they hatched, and the daddy bird bring the mommy bird food for her and her babies. Once the babies were strong enough, they fell out of the tree and Mabry had a chance to save them; she picked them up with a glove on her hand and put them back in the nest. Later, we relized that the babies were learning how to fly....and boy, the mommy and daddy birds were MAD at us for messing with their babies! Now strong and able to fly, the baby scarlet tanagers fly around the trees around our house and we now watch them get their beautiful colored feathers!
These are more birds nest that Mabry has found over the months.

Cayli, that's beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My grandparents have two pares of Painted Buntings coming to their birdfeeder! If you put the birdfeeder near trees (like in front of the edge of the woods for you) it's said that more birds will come. My grandma read it, and it has worked for her!
Great idea!!! I will try to remember to tell Mabry that!
