Sometimes Nature Study is Sad...

This poor little tufted titmouse apparently hit my parked car's window and died. Mikro and I both cried as we buried him in the garden, near the feeders. Of course, we are homeschoolers, so we didn't waste the opportunity to take a good closeup look at one of nature's beautiful creatures before putting him in the earth.

Beautiful, sweet bird.
Rest in peace.

Look at the feather pattern on the top of his head. We have several Titmice who come to our feeders...never knew they had eyelashes and whiskers.

Bless its heart. :( I know how it feels to watch your son grieve a sweet wild creature. My Remy feels those emotions so deeply.
