Birdwatching 101

The assignment is to recognize birds that fly through our back yard.  We used https://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/files/rapid-color-guides-pdfs/593_usa_chicago_summer_birds.pdf and a book that we had to list all of the common birds in our area.  Kids puts their initials by the bird that they recognize.  This is a long term birdwatching project.  So far: woodpacker and red winged blackbird
