It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! not-technically edition
Jots about the bird…
- It’s an Eastern Towhee.

Jots about the plane…
- It’s not a plane (planes have fixed wings)!
- It appears to be a military helicopter and it was LOUD!
- I like these classic wooden propeller toys.
- You can make one from paper with these instructions.
- I wonder what this helicopter was up to…
It’s so boring around here!

Check out this video of the chickadees renovating…
