One of our family’s favorite holidays is Halloween. This year Zack was a firefighter, Clara was a purple dragon, and Hayley was a 50’s girl. After watching the movie “Underdog,” the kids asked if Phoebe could be that for Halloween. So she was!
On Halloween day, we were downtown and Clara found a baby bird that must have fallen out of it’s nest. It let her pick it up. Since the university here has such a big vet program, they let you bring hurt animals that you find like baby birds and the students at the vet hospital treat them. Here is Clara holding the bird at the vet hospital. She named it Grace. The college girls that worked there commended Clara for saving the baby bird. She was soooooooo happy. 
Here is the bird in it’s makeshift nest at the vet hospital. We think it might be a goldfinch but it is hard to tell because baby birds’ markings are different than adults.

Fun Halloween. I love the pumpkins!!
Cool pumpkins. Did they take you a long time? That sure is a cute little bird. It's pretty lucky that cute Clara found it!
Wow those pumpkins are amazing! We love the costumes esp. Phoebe's. We are big Underdog fans!
The bird is an adult cedar waxwing. They fly into my window all the time and get stunned. Good job helping it girls!:) Cedar waxwings like to fly in flocks and eat berries. They love our crabapple trees!
