The Great Backyard Bird Count is something we have participated in for a few years now. This year was a little disappointing, we didn't see near as many birds as we've seen in the past. Still, we had fun spending a day at the park birding, playing and soaking up a bit of sun on one of the warm days we've had recently.
Jay staged this picture to enter into the GBBC photo contest:
This picture makes me smile for so many reasons. One being that it never ceases to amaze me how different each child can be...born in the same family, same parenting methods (mostly), same genetics and yet so uniquely different. To my knowledge, Jay has never once pretended to have/hold/shoot a gun. Rock on the other hand, started making guns out of his toast when he was around 2yrs old and loves to "shoot" all manner of bad guys and tasty wildlife.
After seven or eight tries, this was the best attempt at a group shot:

One final try for a group shot before leaving the trail:
Looks like a great outing!!!
