Local Birds

Check out our favourite activity for the "Weekly Ornithologist" on my classroom website... choosing a local bird on the Cornell Ornithologist "All About Birds" site.

There are some VERY helpful beginner's guides to bird watching!
There are some great links to other Bird Feeder Watch sites, bird cams, and even some photos of a local Western Canada birds around my school.
Ornithologists watch birds!

S.E.E.D.S. Canada B.I.T. (Bird Identification Tally) Challenge used to be a wonderful activity to do with the class in May.
Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find it anymore (2019).
