Here are a couple of great websites we've been using to try to ID some of the many birds & trees we've been watching:
Bird calls - this is enature- we just found today and have been trying to ID plants, animal
Nature Pics
I thought moving up to Baltimore we wouldn't see much nature- I was really wrong! We've seen tons. Sherwood Gardens is just a couple blocks from our house. Beautiful! We've been there lots and lots- during the day me and the kids would go with nature journals or friends or with James for a nice after dinner walk. Peak of tulip season was Easter- I put some pics on our blog of our beautiful morning there- so many different colors of tulips. We also loved seeing a close-up painting of a tulip at the Museum of Art. We've also loved seeing all the different trees- in NC most trees have a straight tree trunk- here there are tons of different shapes.
At the end of tulip season, the azaelas came into bloom- several different colors. And now the roses are blooming. Hopefully some of my phone pics turn out good too bc I keep forgetting to take the camera on our walks. We've seen tons of robins, a few cardinals and blue jays, a couple orioles, a million (at least ) squirrels, and lots of dogs out for walks.
Ivy all over- unfortunately also lots of poison ivy.
The boys were real excited to find this outside

Beautiful Spring
We've been really enjoying the spring- spending lots of time outdoors: hiking, biking, going to Clark Park, Cape Fear Botanical Garden, and sitting in the front yard admiring God's creation.
Here are some pics K took in our front yard
we've been listening to woodpeckers, checking out their handiwork, learning about sap, and how to tell how old a tree is.checking out pine cones
enjoying the beautiful azaleas
this is the construction for the new building at the Botanical Garden
a dead bush in our front yard- we've been talking about plant disease
looking up close at our apple tree to see how the blossoms, apples grow & counting our apples before they grow
