Bird Migration Research



The kids have been researching a bird they selected from a list of birds I gave them.  The list I gave them was of birds they would have a chance of seeing at Plum Island on Friday's field trip.  The students are researching basic facts about their bird including field marks, diet, problems or issues they face, and migration.  They are also filling in a migration map and obtaining a picture of their bird.



They are using books about birds including field guides as well as using the laptops to visit 4 bird identification sites I gave them.
