Lower Population?

After school there was a surprisingly low amounts of birds. It had just rained so why was there not a lot of birds??? Anyway, the few birds that I did see were pairs of America Robins and my mom saw a variant adult male Slate-colored Dark-eyed Junco. Anybody know why a scientists named that bird such a long name? Well, back to the low amount of birds. Even this morning, when it was raining I didn't see a lot of birds. Do you think it was because of the wind?

The bird of today is the Guira Cuckoo or the Guira Guira. Of course when I type it in italics its the scientific name. Put your hand up or just tell me if you've seen that bird. Problably not, because they only live on the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!

I'm hoping tomorrow that my dad will take me to Lindoln's Conservation Area. I am hoping that because the last time we went there we saw many waterfowl, marshbirds and forest birds. For example the Mallard, Red-winged Blackbird and Blue Jay.

Today was a good day at school but I have a lot of homework. I will have to do that tomorrow because tonight is family night. (Family night is usually on a Friday night and its a time we do something special). This family night is on a Friday, and we are watching Happy Feet and eating pizza. And now a joke!
