Attention aspiring ornithologists! Join us for two days of fun in the classroom and in the field. We’ll spend each day learning about the field of ornithology: what makes birds unique among animals, their many fascinating adaptations and behaviors, and how to identify them. We'll head out with binoculars and bird identification books to make observations on foot around the Science Discovery building. We'll use our eyes and ears to locate and identify beautiful songbirds, ducks, and birds of prey. We’ll look for nests, listen to songs, and create a field journal of illustrations and observations. We'll then head inside to dig deeper into our understanding of birds as we learn about bird morphology, behavior, and flight. Be prepared to gain a deeper interest in birds and an appreciation for the need to conserve these species and their habitats.
