GBBC buttonI thought we would line up these two challenges this week as many of us prepare to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count. I realize that the Winter Wednesday challenge is out of order but it just seems to make sense.We will do winter insects next week.

Winter Series Outdoor Hour Challenge #7 Winter Birds (including bird migration)
Winter Wednesday #8 Winter Birds (How do birds survive the winter?)

I look forward to seeing everyone's list of birds or if you just observe one bird and learn a little about it that is fine too! Please do as much or as little as your family can manage. Remember that you can share your list of birds at the end of the month on Heather's Tweet and See!

  3. How fun! We are only in day two of our bird count and we've learned so much. To see the joy and excitment my children have over studying winter birds makes me so happy. I'm linking up this week to cover 7 &8.

    Love your site!

  4. We saw many more birds when we had snow so I included a few of our snow observations too.

  5. I posted some photos of the birds we've been enjoying at our feeders as well as the homeschooling/learning we did with a recent 8"+ snowfall that happened during the bird count.
