GSBAS Young Birders Group
Attention Parents and Junior Birders! |
|
Starting November 2nd, GSBAS will regularly host a young birders group on the
first Sunday of each month during our normal tour hours from 1 to 3 pm at
Brookside. We will walk the grounds and monitor the bird feeders, discussing all
of the birds we see and hear as well as noting their habits in the natural
surroundings. Other activities will include reviewing guide materials in GSBAS’s
library and recording the species observed in a log book just for our young
birders group. See our Kids Korner page for more
details. |

Homeschooler's Guide to Project FeederWatch |
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has just released its newly revised, FREE
Homeschooler's Guide to Project FeederWatch.
For more than 20 years, Project FeederWatch
has been an easy, fun way for children to learn about birds and strengthen their
skills in observation, identification, research, computation, writing,
creativity, and more. FeederWatchers keep track of the numbers and kinds of
birds at their feeders through the winter and report what they see to the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology. For more detailed information and how to obtain
this guide, click here. |

Project FeederWatch - 2008 |
|
The 2008-09 season of Project FeederWatch gets underway November 8 and runs
through April 3. Participants count the numbers and kinds of birds at their
feeders each week and send the information to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Participants submitted more than 115,000 checklists during the 2007-08
FeederWatch season, documenting unusual bird sightings, winter movements, and
shifting ranges-a treasure-trove of information that scientists use to monitor
the health of the birds and of the environment.
