It’s Not a Plane, It’s a Bird!
Participants will learn about the unique, fascinating, and exciting world of birds. The focus of the activity will primarily be learning to identify any bird we would be likely to see out of our window here in Maryland. We will use visual as well as audio methods to figure out our backyard flighty neighbors. Further, participants will discover the importance of migration, the secrets of flight, and the differences in habitats. It will be a hoot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Teacher - Jacob Norton is a science and math teacher at Harford Friends School.
