Today's craft is sketching birds. We created a little "cave" to view the birds in our backyard. After setting out some bird feed, we were able to see some robins, house finches, pigeons and swallows.
Here is the drawing of a robin. It's been a while, but I think this is a good way to realize what a bird really looks like, from the dark cap of the bird to the lighter gray feathers on its back and tail, to the sharpness of the beak needed to grab worms.
The drive of the day will be a forested one. We took a drive down Blackhawk Road, which is a really pretty drive as we go past the Madison Ski Club. Alas, we saw no birds since it was raining.
Today marked a big day in the quarantine. We placed our first order for curbside pick up from Brennan's, a specialty grocery store. We got some berries, cheese, smoked fish and a few other fresh veggies. We just need some basic stuff. Too bad they don't have milk.
