The third book in the Backpack Explorer series from the Editors of
Storey Publishing invites budding naturalists to head outside for a walk
-- in the woods, a park, or right in their backyard -- to spot feathered
friends. Backpack Explorer: Bird Watch leads kids aged 4 and up
through the basics of birding, from identifying common birds to learning
about habitat and migration and listening for bird songs. The pages are
packed with prompts and activities, including 12 interactive field
guides (for common birds, nests, eggs, tracks, and more), sensory
scavenger hunts, activities such as building a bird nest, matching
games, and simple discovery zone pages about food chains and the life
cycle of birds. Equipped with a real magnifying glass, stickers, and a
birding log for recording sightings and encounters, this book is the
perfect take-along for any nature adventure.
