Ist Post (Yay!)



Hello everyone! So I decided to jump on the band wagon and get a blog. So this is it!

Anyways today was pretty epic! My family found a nest with baby birds that had been displaced when the maintenance crew cut down a bush. We kept watching it and the parents didn't come back for a few hours. Finally they did but we were worried about the chicks getting exposed to the sun in the afternoon because they had almost no feathers and would get sunburned. So we called the animal rescue and asked them what to do. They said not to move the nest even though there are cats in our neighborhood who would love to eat these birds. Instead we should use the remains of the bush to cover the nest with leaves to provide shelter and camouflage the nest. We did and now the chicks are very happy :)

I also had my first eye exam... not as much fun as i thought it would be. The diagnosis: I should get glasses for driving etc but they're a really weak prescription. They completely dilated my pupils and for several hours I couldn't see anything within an arm's length from my face.  According to my sister i looked like a hungry vampire straight out of twilight!
