One of my favorite hobbies is birding. I don’t always have a moment to snap a pic but I am one of those people who just enjoys seeing the birds. I also keep a record of what, when and how many I have seen. To date I have seen 143 different kinds of birds including, just recently, seeing the very cool looking King Eider at the Canal this past week. Also, a Green Teal and a pair of Wood Ducks were spotted at the Grist Mill in Plymouth. Just in case anyone wants to take gander!

I return to the Mary K Goode School to finish up the Building Stories Workshop for the 4th grade – and then again for an evening with the entire school. I will be making a visit to Elm St School and Y World of Tots as well as Acushnet School, a few of the schools I get to see annually. There are no public shows this week but keep an eye on the Upcoming Shows page!
