Woah! Did you see that bird fly by? I wonder what type it was!
You are about to become amateur bird-watchers. Every year people
all over the United States and Canada work together to complete
The Great Backyard Bird Count; this year you and your teacher
are going to contribute data to The Great Backyard Bird Count.
In order to provide accurate data, you need to become amateur
birdwatchers. To become an amateur birdwatcher you need to be
able to answer the following questions: - What features need to
be evaluated in order to determine the proper identity of a bird
species? - What are the features that would help you identify
your chosen bird species? Over the next few library periods you
are going to be doing research on birds and their distinguishing
characteristics. Your research will be completed by using the
links provided in this lesson. If you would like to use another
resource, please ask first!
