What Birds Are In My Backyard?


Put on a hat and sunscreen.

Sit in your backyard or on your apartment balcony for about 20 minutes.


Watch and listen carefully. What birds can you see and hear flying or sitting nearby?

Draw the birds and make a mark on your page every time you see a bird to help you to keep count.


Can you use the poster of the birds to help you work out which birds they were? Write the bird name near your drawing of the bird.


How many different birds did you spot?

Could you make some rows or columns of pictures to show how many of each bird you counted? Write some numbers near the columns or rows.


Talk about what you found out.
