The Birds (Not by Alfred Hitchcock)

Email message from Marcia:

pearl got excited this morning about birds. she took the subaru
magazine in the car to look at a story on birds and we talked about
ornithologists, etc. she said she'd like to be a bird rescuer when she
grows up. i said she could do that and lots of other jobs too, but she
said, no, just a bird rescuer. when she got home today she said she
wanted to go on a bird walk with her field notebook, so we took a
walk. the girls looked for clues and found several: 2 feathers, some
half-eaten seeds, bird poop, berries, and 2 nests.  she wants to go on
another walk tonight when you get home. xo, m
