When I took my canine out this morning I heard some birds chirping that I hadn’t heard in just a few months. That’s a certain signal that spring cannot be too distant. The sounds of the birds this morning jogged my memory of a TED-Ed lesson about hen migration. Bird Migration, A Perilous Journey teaches viewers some statistics about songbird migration, the function of hen migration within the ecosystem, and the man-made challenges going through songbirds on their annual migrations.
Applications for Education
After watching the video and finishing the lesson questions, a subsequent step is to have college students head to Project FeederWatch the place they’ll see maps of hen migration patterns.
Project Feeder Watch is a public mission. You and your college students can contribute to the mission by counting birds at a website close to your college and even in your college yard.
