Mourning Dove

Roen has been captivated by our ornithology unit. He's quiet and patient enough to observe birds at close range. We ate lunch outside and he just slowly worked his way forward until he was within a foot of some Mourning Doves in the front garden. They didn't seem to mind him at all. He stayed outside for ages. Every time I waved at him to come back in and do lesson, he would just shake his head no and turn into a statue. I think he spent two hours with the birds.
