Classrooms in six states reported Sharp-shinned Hawks or Cooper's Hawks scoping out their chances of capturing an unwary feeder bird. I watched a sharpie take a Dark-eyed Junco outside my window here at the Lab about a month ago. Teachers are already looking ahead to their next Classroom FeederWatch season and have started purchasing the curriculum. Next year, we are planning to shift Classroom Birdscope to the Internet, and we'll continue to post new editions every other week. Ron Hellstern and Scott Carles, teachers extraordinaire from the Logan area, and Meredith Kusch, an educator at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will lead the workshop.
Participants are responsible for their own room and board.
Graduate credit is available from Utah State University.
