Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?

After a crazy weekend of running around Samantha and I were looking out the front window to see if it was raining.... suddenly a robin landed on our front lawn, followed by what must have been his family. They quickly flew across the street and as Samantha and I watched all kinds of birds starting joining in what must have been a "worm" fest or something.

were having a feast!

I was elated that I at least knew the names of the birds we saw......nothing like a pop quiz from your 4-year old about nature. Samantha now believes that Blue Jays are the bullies of the bird world. They kept swooping down and pecking their fellow birds. Before we knew it, an hour or so had gone by...nothing like the simple things in life to make you relax and reflect on how good things really are. I have to say I've never taken the time to bird watch...
