Point out two different kinds of birds that live in your area. With your parent/guardian, other caring adult, or den, find out more about one of these birds.

#1-3 | Walk, Hike, and Bird
Grab your ruler and Birding Scavenger Hunt printout and head outside!
Listen to the sights and sounds of nature.
Find a nice place to sit down and lay out your ruler. What do you see in that 1-foot area? Small places can be bustling with activity! Don't forget to look up!
Use the Scavenger Hunt to identify birds that live in the area. Which one was your favorite? Come back here to learn more about it.
#5 | Build It for the Birds!
Use a kit to construct and decorate a birdhouse. Build one out of scrap wood you may have around the house, a single 1x6 board, or old fence post.
These two links will show you with a 1x6 board. The second is a nice option if you don't have access to a hole saw as you can leave the front an open rectangle and it can be a nesting box for robins and other birds.
