For your nature-loving children…

I thought I would do a quick post this morning and share with you some really neat {free} resources for your nature-loving children!  The picture here is one that my oldest son took of a woodpecker at his suet feeder.

He really enjoys the birds and so some of these links are going to be specific to birds, but you will find a variety of others as well.  Enjoy!
