| Description | %META:TOPICINFO{author="LauraHowell" date="1259893815" format="1.0" version="1.5"}% This study group is for the bird enthusiast who just loves and enjoys the birds in our backyard. It'll include investigations into feathers, nests, eggs, migration, and of course an owl pellet study. We'll make bird feeders and talk about our back yard birds, but the focus of the study is not going to be bird identification per se, but tons of other related topics. Each participant will be expected to give a couple of small oral presentations on a bird of their choice so a bit of homework and preparations will be needed. I am presently investigating the possibility of getting outside presenters in for a couple of nature presentations. The cost would be split among whomever wanted to attend. We might also attend a presentation at Harvard Museum of Natural History (this would be on a Saturday morning most likely). |
