GSBAS Young Birders Group Attention Parents and Junior Birders!
GSBAS hosts 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.
Our target group is 3rd to 6th grade students, but we
welcome all students who are interested in joining us. GSBAS
has guide books and binoculars to share with the junior
birders.
It is recommended that the students bring a
sketchbook/notebook and coloring pencils, as we might have a
chance to sketch birds we observe. A camera is always nice
to have if you would like to bring one along. Please wear
comfortable shoes – sneakers or hiking boots are great!
If you have any questions, please email Juliane Wohler at
gsbas@verizon.net.
We look forward to seeing you!!!
Play the Mission: Migration Game on the Audubon New
York website.
In the spring and the fall, many birds fly long distances in
search of food, water, shelter and space: the same basic
things that you need to survive. Along these routes, they
encounter many different types of habitats, from country and
forest to neighborhoods and big cities, and at times,
encounter dangers from both natural and manmade hazards.
In this game you will try to help your flock migrate safely
by learning how choices you make each and every day around
your home, school, and neighborhood can affect the fate of
these migrating birds - in both positive and negative ways.
By the time you're done, you'll have the skills and
knowledge to help birds thrive and survive around your home.
