teacher of the day

On Thursday, I was invited to teach a group about birds!!! It was fun. First, I started with some questions and I answered them. I answered them all, but some times I had to get a book to explain their questions. It was fun, although the children (which this whole thing was for) got bored and left in the middle of it,:) oh well. There are some pictures, but we have not uploaded them so you will see them later.

the chukar /grouse hunt

So today, (Saturday) we went hunting, it was fun, we went to the tippy top of west mountain, to chukar (a bird) hunt, but did not see anything, so we went to Santaquin Canyon to grouse (also a bird) hunt, and did not see anything there either, so we then went to black hawk, which is payson canyon, and saw one grouse there but was too far away to shoot. With us(my dad and I) it always works out the same way every time, when ever we go by our self, we see tons of what were looking for, but when we go with some one else we don't see a thing.

books

OK, i just want to know what your favorite book is? I really like the Great Brain, and Animal Farm. Please comment and tell me what your favorite book is. Those books that I named are great books. The only thing about animal farm is it's not great for smaller kids. It could scare them, because the bad guys in the book end up winning, but it's still a good book.

thanksgiving!!!

this year, all our family came to our house for thanksgiving!!! it was so much fun! when you read this post, please comment about what you did for thanksgiving.







sorry no pictures.

scout camp out

On Saturday, I went on a scout camp out!! It was so much fun! We camped at Diamond Fork canyon. Here is something that was funny about the camp out. When we got there, we started a fire and then went to bed, then the next morning, all the scouts woke up before the scout leaders and tried to make a fire. We probably used ten matches and still did not have a fire. Then our leader woke up and came out and got the fire going by blowing on it because it was still hot and had Coals that were hot from the night before, and all day continuously made fun of us by saying (how many matches did I use again?)l.o.l (lough. out. loud.) When we woke up, our toes were freezing, but itwas still fun. I had a hard time getting my shoes on because my feet were so cold. We had tinfoil dinners, pancakes and eggs for breakfast, and sack lunches for lunch.

blazing red house finch


yellow house finch




Here is a picture of a normal house finch, and a picture of an unnatural house finch that was born different. I do not know why they are yellow.

blog problem

I am trying to post some songs that my cousin and I made up, but it won't let me. Does anyone know how to do that? if you do, please tell me. Well this morning there were tons of birds, mainly house sparrows, and some finches, but no juncos.

amazing birds!

I have at least 20 Eurasian collared doves coming at one time!!! It is weird that all those doves are coming at once. They are amazing birds! They are interesting to watch. When they eat they do not crack the seed, they actually put the seed in a pouch that is behind their tongue, and then later on they take the seed out of their pouch and then crack it and eat it. Is that not amazing?

drawing #2

Today I did a drawing!!! It is a Cardinal.

Today I went to my first Basketball game!!! It was fun. Our team lost 19 to 25. They are a hard team, but I still had a lot of fun!!!!!!!! We have really good players on our team!!! Not including me. I am not too good, but still fun!!!

mckay's birds

There are birds that are called McKay's buntings. Funny, huh. Ha he he!!! I can't get a picture because they are not around here. They range in Alaska so I would have to go to Alaska to get a picture of one. They are just all white with brown wings.

this morning

This morning when I woke up there were birds everywhere!!! They were everywhere!!! Birds!! Birds!!! Birds !!!! And more birds!!!!!!!. There were doves, sparrows, juncos, and house finches!!!!!!! They eat seed really fast though, and that can get annoying, but either birds and spend money or don't spend money and don't have birds. I choose birds!!!
