| Outdoor Hour Challenge - Bird Study Grid Posted: 01 Feb 2013 03:54 AM PST  We are staring a month long focus on birds using the Handbook of Nature Study and other resources found here on my blog and in each Friday's post. Make sure you have subscribed to this blog so you will receive the monthly newsletter download link for additional bird study encouragement and special discounts on ebooks and other products. Outdoor Hour Challenge: For our first bird related challenge, let's all print out our Bird Study Grids from the newsletter. This month they are a little different than in previous months. I have given you two simple grids that you all can use wherever you live and at whatever time of year you want to study birds. There are also two smaller tally sheets you can print out for your nature journal to record bird colors and bird parts you observe. Print and cut any or all of the grids this month and have some fun while taking your Outdoor Hour Challenge time either outdoors looking for birds or from you window if you need to.  Printable Activity: Nature Table - Birds Use the suggestions on this free printable to build or add to your nature table. There are many suggestions that have hyperlinks so make sure to check those out for additional ideas and resources. Send me a photo of your nature table and it may be included in the next newsletter! Getting Started Suggestion: If you already own the Getting Started ebook, complete Outdoor Hour Challenge #4. Use your outdoor time to talk about your new focus for the month on birds and all the different ways you can learn about birds. Spend a few minutes listening for birds, looking for signs of birds, and then completing the accompanying notebook page in the ebook or an entry in your own nature journal.   You are welcome to submit any of you blog Outdoor Hour Challenge blog entries to the Outdoor Hour Challenge Blog Carnival. Entries for the current month are due on 2/27/13.  Please note that this discount ends tomorrow so take advantage of this discount ASAP. Your Backyard: Birds Your Backyard: Monarch Butterflies  |
