     Did you know there's over 1,000 kind of birds?  Do you know any? Well if you do you'll probably like this fact. All birds have feathers.  Many water birds eat fish.  Many birds have weird field calls.   Some birds can make over 10 sounds !!!!! All birds lay eggs.  Most birds can fly.  All birds have two legs. Do you know all birds  have wings? 

    I think birds are very interesting.  One of my favorite birds is a Pacific loon. They're very beautiful.  Did you know Pacific loons have been found in Rochester? That's very rare.
