I don't know who was more entertained on Monday, Outdoors columnist Steve Blight or the mix of three, four, and five-year-old children at St. Patrick's School in Harrowsmith. We had asked Steve to come and speak to the children after a Golden-crowned Kinglet flew into a window at our school a few weeks ago (it survived).
Steve asked the children to compare themselves to birds - what is the same, what is different? Then, he showed some bright pictures and sounds of some local birds, ending with some hands on props about caring for birds after a window strike. The students were enthused and more than willing to share their ideas, if not exact information! A huge thanks to Steve for donating his time and energy to our class of inquisitive young minds! I wonder if his next stop, Queen's Engineering, was as warm and receptive? P.S. didn't you love the hand drawn picture of our rescued Golden-crowned Kinglet? It was very thoughtful of a student to put fur on the bird to keep it extra warm!
