Adventures - Birds

Here's a sampling of Hannah's state sheets. We put all 50 of them in sheet protectors and put them in a binder. We enjoyed learning about the state birds. Using the cards included in her curriculum as a guide, she colored the bird and flower on her sheet. She also wrote in the state's initials, the capitol city and added a sticker of the state flag.
During the winter, we kept a log of the birds we saw outside our window. Here is what we saw from most often to least often.

Black-capped chickadee / Cardinal and Tufted Titmice /American Goldfinch and Eastern Bluebird / Purple finch /House finch and House Wren / Mourning Dove and Junco /Nuthatch /Pine Sisken and Blue jay / Red-bellied Woodpecker and Downy Woodpecker



This Bird Songs book from Aunt Charlotte was fun for looking up birds and also for identifying birds that we could not see, like the barred owl that Josiah and I heard one night - Hoo, Hoo, Hoo-Hooo.

This Eyewitness Explorers book that I found at the Thrift Store is also interesting. . . . . Keep watching Wordless Wednesdays for more of our snapshots of birds.
