WASHINGTON – Every morning on the Paul Kroegel homestead in Sebastian, Fla., Janice Timinsky waits for 10 o'clock.
She waits because that's when a mother and father cardinal leave their chirping nest to search for food.
Timinsky follows them with her eyes to the aqua colored water, where pelicans and woodstorks are also searching for breakfast.
“It's just something that's so interesting to me,” said Timinsky. “I just love the birds.”
Timinsky's love for birds is in her genes, and her genes brought her to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History Thursday.
