Intro to Bird Watching K-5th

This class will introduce children to how to learn about birds in the WMES schoolyard as well as in their own backyards and neighborhoods. We will use binoculars, guide books, and Internet resources in each class in a mix of indoor 'class' and outdoor 'field trip' as we learn ID techniques, seasonal variations on what birds can be seen, and how to record our observations as we become 'citizen scientists.' Note: No equipment necessary, anyone interested in purchasing their child binoculars is encouraged to reach out to the instructor for recommendations.
