Kim Arrived in Ithaca and very excited for the educators workshop tomorrow!
Phil Kahler
Toward the end of last school year one of my parents, who works for Leupold, surprised me with an incredible donation. A classroom set of Leupold binoculars and a couple of spotting scopes. Wow! I want to take good care of these so they last a long time. After putting some thought into how to best store and transpo...rt the classroom set of binoculars I decided to put them in this Kobalt toolbox on wheels. I can wheel them from my storage room to the front of the classroom. Has a carry handle and is narrow enough to fit safely on a school bus seat or on the floor between seats. Each pair is labeled with school info and numbered. Probably won't take long before my students start loosing lens caps though! How do you manage binoculars in your classroom?Read More

BirdSleuth For a few weeks, I've considering not buying plastic bottles (no bottled water, no bottled soda from the vending machine) as a small step toward helping the earth. The sight of these birds with plastic bottle caps in their bellies will push me to actually DO IT. I didn't even know about the Pacific Trash Gyre!

Photographer Chris Jordan shared a sobering tale of his journey to Midway Atoll with the Poptech conference on Thursday, where he captured horrifying images of baby birds killed by plastic from the Pacific Trash Gyre. The crowd, which had been listening to a day of Big Ideas, was dumbstruck.
BirdSleuth Is doing a new workshop entitled "Animal Math" at the Science Teachers of New York (STANYS) conference this morning.
BirdSleuth Happy Halloweeen from BirdSleuth! While we don't recommend giving candy to trick-or-treating birds, you might enjoy this link!
BirdSleuth I found this great, short audio clip describing why geese fly in a "V" and small birds don't-- helping to answer one of my fall questions about geese!

Among the most evocative sounds of early autumn are the voices of migratory geese, flying overhead in V-formation. For more about geese and ducks, visit Cornell'sAllAboutBirds.To find your local Audubon chapter and go on a field trip,begin here.

Most mornings that I walk to work, I hear Canada Geese overhead, honking and flying in a "V" on their way south. While seem to be on the move, many of them will continue to hang out in Ithaca all winter. Even with the "simple" Canada Goose, there is so much to be curious about! I wonder...
Why do geese fly in the "V..." pattern and other bird species don't?
Why do some Canada Geese fly south, and some don't?
Are all "Canada Geese" the same species all over the country?
How do geese feet not freeze in freezing cold weather?
How long can a goose live?
Are goose populations increasing?
What do you wonder about Canada Geese?Read More
