Third Graders Go Bird Watching
Posted by Mary CurranDid you know that an owl can hear a mouse’s heartbeat from forty feet away? Third graders traveled to the CT Audubon for a bird identification program and learned this fact and many more. After some practice using field guides and binoculars, students headed outside to view a variety of birds at one of the Audubon’s many bird feeding stations. Tufted titmice, black-capped chickadees, downy woodpeckers and dark-eyed juncos were among the many visitors. Students hiked through the Larson Sanctuary in search of birds and signs of wildlife. The program closed with a close-up view of a barn owl and an American kestrel, two birds of prey that have been rescued by the Audubon. Thank you, Colleen Noyes, for providing our third graders with an interesting outdoor and indoor field experience!
