In my last backyard birding blog, I wrote about how kids can identify birds based on their size, shape, field marks and song. I also explained some Trackers skills like territory mapping and understanding Bird Language. This week I’ll show you some ways kids can get to know their new feathered friends even better.

What other animal gives you such fabulous opportunities for observing and learning? You can give your kids some basic birding info and fun Trackers Missions, then head outside and make some fine feathered friends.
