Go outside with a grown-up during a cool morning or late afternoon. Find a place where you can see shrubs, trees, berries, or a bird feeder.
Sit quietly for five minutes and watch for small birds moving through branches. Look for yellow, white wing bars, tail flicks, berries, or birds grabbing tiny bugs. Draw one bird you see. If no bird shows up, draw the shrub or tree where a bird could find food and cover.
Then answer these questions:
Did you see a bird in a tree, shrub, or feeder?
Did it move slowly or quickly?
What colors did you notice?
Did you see berries, seeds, or insects nearby?
Where could a small bird hide from a hawk?
What could help birds during winter?
Grandma’s reminder:
“Small birds move fast. Sit still long enough, and they will show you their whole schedule.”
