O is for Oriole

When our children were younger, they were involved in a bird club for kids.  They read about birds, dissected owl pellets, listened to speakers, and went on field trips.  One of the field trips we went on was to a place called Hawthorne Hollow a wild life preserve near Kenosha, Wisconsin.  The morning we arrived for our birdwatching hike, there were two trees filled with Orioles.  They had sliced oranges and stuck them on the tree branches. We learned Orioles love oranges!  I can tell you it was quite a sight.  Between the Orioles and the oranges, there was a lot of color. They were beautiful orange and black birds.

  Hawthorne Hollow was very supportive of our little group.  They had a public gathering and allowed the kids to sell bird houses at the event to make a little money for the club.


Answer to the Math Problem from P is for Problem:    Cut the cake horizontally through the middle then make an X on top.  That will give you eight pieces of cake.
