Winter Birds and Nests Scavenger Hunt #NatureBookClub {Link Up}

January 20, 2018 By Thaleia 3 Comments

This month’s theme for Nature Book Club is Winter Birds and Nests. We read the book Birds, Nests and Eggs  which talks about different birds and the types of nests that they make. I decided it would be fun to go on a Nest Scavenger Hunt around our neighborhood. We then went outside and started looking for nests.

(Lil’ Red said his favorite bird and nest is the American Goldfinch. We have seen these a few times in our neighborhood in the Spring or Summer. They often visit Grandma’s feeders.)

We bundled up with coats, hats, and winter boots. I handed Lil’ Red a pair of binoculars and off we went.

We first spotted a large nest high up in a neighbor’s tree. We think it might be a squirrel’s nest.

One tree a block from our house had not 1 not 2 but 3-4 nests! They all looked like large bunches of leaves which are probably squirrel nests.

We get lots of robin’s on the block in the Spring and Summer but not sure where they nest. Sherryl from SimplySherryl.com sent us a picture of a robin’s nest above a light fixture on her back porch.

We did have a Mourning Dove nest in our Maple Tree a few years ago but not sure if the nest is still there or if one was made since it sat between two branches.

You can read more about Winter Birds and Nests from the other Co-hosts of The Nature Book Club!

    A bird-themed scavenger hunt is a great idea! We’ll try that on one of our walks this week. 🙂

    Charlie and I studied Birds in the past and I put the assignment aside as I never thought we would resume Homeschooling but it seems we are again. So I can’t wait to pull out our Bird Studies and check out all the resources you have here for us. Thank you for creating this event. I can’t wait to visit each month.
