Glad Dad was able to take you out. You are a great birder and story teller. Of course I am prejudice. This is from Kitty Gramma! The cranes are coming in to North Platte now and we are going out to look again for them. Wish you were here! That was a wonderful story. Glad Dad was able to take you out.

Lots of times I don’t see what I am looking for, but still manage to have fun.

Not many kids can say that. Good post! Holly, not only are you a 9-year-old birder, you’re also a great writer. Not many kids can say that. Good post!

Even though you did not see the owl I am sure that she was up in the nest. She is sitting on her eggs right now and she can not leave them or they will get too cold. It is just really hard to see her because the nest is very deep. The dad was probably also around but he is not usually at the nest unless he is bringing mom some food. Most of the times he is hiding in the woods near by but he is hard to see because his feathers look like tree bark. Keep trying and I am sure that some day you will see them. <br/>By the way I hope that you remembered to thank your dad for taking you out to see the owls. He sounds like a great dad.

My mother used to take me birding when I was your age, Holly, and it didn't always matter to me if I saw the birds or not. I liked the anticipation, I liked hanging out with my mom, and I loved the idea that there were these marvelous creatures living so close that I might see them if we stopped and got out of the car. Now I see the birds because my mom taught me how to look. Thanks for sharing your story!
