ODS Curriculum - The Hike - Bird Sounds page finished. Transferred with minimal changes from previous animals curriculum site.
Listen carefully to the bird sounds. Are the birds singing, or sounding an alarm? A bird alarm will be a short repeated sound, often very loud.
Birds communicate many things to each other. Brainstorm with the group all of the categories of things birds may need to communicate.
Where is the bird? Is it on the ground, in a tree, or in the air? How far away is it? Can you reproduce the sound? Draw in your field notebook what you think the sound looks like.
Can you see the bird? Is it bigger or smaller than a robin? Are there any distinctive colors on it? What shape is the head? The tail? The feet and beak? Record your observations in your field notebook.
