Something new every single day..

Years ago when I was a young boy I used to be interested in bird watching, probably the obsessive compulsive in me, anyway my son is quite interested in nature and animals these days and it's kind of awoken the interest again. I was sitting in my car yesterday in a traffic jam (snow woes) and a little flock of Redwings settled on a bush right next to my window and I watched them for about 5 minutes until the traffic moved on. I don't think I've ever seen one of these birds before, in fact I wasn't 100% sure they were Redwings until I checked it later at home, it's amazing how something new crops up every day no matter how old we get.

Here's a picture of one, in case you were wondering what they look like.
