The birdwatchers...

We have quite a few new and senior bird watchers. We owe this entire thing to Ms. Russell, the head birdwatcher. She manages the files, posts blogs, and helps us with the equipment.

Thanks, Ms. Russell, for all you've done for us.

The birdwatchers

Bird Watching

We keep logs of the birds we see and record the information at ebird.org. Scientists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology can use our data to study bird migration.

Also the birdwatchers do a lot of watching from another post inside the school, and with a special camera that takes pictures in an elapsed time. The camera helps us find out what birds visit our feeder while we are busy in class!

"Another feeder Mom!"

The bird watchers have put in more feeders and more are being put in as we speak. This is a suet feeder especially for our woodpecker friends.

Our warm birdbath

Our birdbath attracts birds after feeding at the feeders.
Kept heated all day long for the birds.

Bird Feeders

The bird feeders the bird watchers put up attract many birds during the year.

Stand to the right please...

The bird houses are ready to be planted in the ground for birds.
These are houses built for blue birds and last year, bluebirds nested in two of them.

Proud New Members of the North American Bluebird Society

A friend of Ms. Russell's purchased a membership for us in the North American Bluebird Society! We will be able to participate in Cornell University's NestWatch program. By posting information online about our bluebird nestboxes, we will be helping scientists and people all over the United States learn more about bluebirds. That makes us scientists, too!

Tufted Titmouse and Starlings

We saw a couple Tufted Titmouse.

Also this is the first year we have seen European Starlings-- and we sure have seen a lot of them!

European Starling

Today is Janury 16th. We have seen in the past week many birds. But the most populated bird was the European Starling. We have also seen Around 4 or5 Tufted Titmouses. The other was 1 Downy Woodpecker.
