Bird Flight & Migration (Nature in November)

Why do birds fly south? Because it's too far to walk!!! Find out what two things help birds fly by creating a Whirly Twirly Bird (younger kids) or a Bird Flyer (older kids). Use the BirdSleuth Explorer's Guidebook by The Cornell Lab of Ornithology to find out more about our feathered friends as you observe them in your backyard or at a local park, or sign up to join a Citizen Science project. Become a bird hero when you create the silhouette of a bird to place on your window so they don't fly into it. Additionally included in this kit are a list of ten Birdy Books to Read with Your Fledglings; a link to your favorite children's librarian reading The Crow's Tale (a Lenni Lenape Native American legend) and a sheet of extension activities and discussion questions on the tale. The only supplies you'll need to provide are tape, scissors and markers or crayons!

Kits are one per FAMILY. Any duplicate registrations will be deleted. Kits can be picked up at Northwest Library from Wednesday November 18th through Saturday November 21st. Registered customers must pick up kits by Saturday 4 PM or call the library at (405) 231-8650 to make alternate pick up arrangements as any remaining kits will be made available to waitlisted customers on Sunday. Due to high demand for these kits, all print outs and instructions will be posted here on the SUNDAY after the last day of pickup so that families with siblings or others who may not have had the opportunity to register can reproduce the kit at home.
