Do you like the outdoors? Do you enjoy watching animals in their habitat? Have you ever wondered where all the birds come from in the spring and where they go in the winter? Birding, a new ELP activity, may be just for you.
When you sign up for birding you get to learn all about the local bird populations, feeding habits, go on field trips, take care of the bird feeders outside of GBS. Austin says he enjoys getting to interact with different birds sometimes. Several feeders are located right outside Ms. Cullinan’s window.
I interviewed 5th grader Courtney and she said her favorite thing is watching the birds. She also told me about all different feeders being used at GBS. Here is the type of feeders there are :suction cup feeders and hanging feeders and more.
Some of the birds you can see are, pigeons, blue jays, morning dove and more. If you have questions about birding you can talk to Austin Stacy in 7th grade or Courtney, Mackenzie, Katie and Sylvie all in 5th grade. Ms. Cullinan is also available to answer your questions. I had fun learning about birding and maybe next year I’ll join them.

I was gonna join either birding griffin's nest or magazine but birding takes some skills I don't like having to use (like gathering info about really tiny details) and griffin's nest didn't really out-compete my writing/photographing/everythingthathastodowithmagazine love!
