Pardon this OT post, but I'm a ultra-proud first-time grandmother. My grandson Liam, just 1 year old, spoke his first word today—not "mama" or "dad" but "BIRD"—and repeated it clear as a bell four more times while pointing to the bird mobile I made him. A future ornithologist perhaps?
BTW: Two of his favorite toys (and mine) are the Audubon plush singing wood thrush and singing oriole available at Wild Birds Unlimited. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
