Window Feeders
School has just started. Last spring we planted a Hummingbird and Butterfly
garden and our flowers are still blooming.When we got back to school
we hung out our two window hummmingbird feeders and have had both a
male and female rubythroated hummingbird visit. The children are very
excited.

First Graders Watching and Counting
We
have many hummingbirds visiting our feeders. The males are fighting
for rights and the females are enjoying a meal. We counted at least
seven different hummingbirds. 4 males and 3 females are what we think
we have. Many first grade eyes and they all don't see the same thing.
We watched the birds for about 20 minutes around 1:00.

Carolina: Daily Visits to Feeders
We have a wonderful outdoor classroom behind our school and I have 2
hummingbird feeders within a foot of my classroom in my garden area.
My first grade students have been enthralled with the antics of the
many female hummingbirds that have visited daily.

Syrup Making is Math Lesson
We have store-bought feeders and we make the syrup as part of a math
lesson. In first grade anything hands-on works well and they love making
a mess. The measuring of sugar and water is always a coveted job. All
of the children in the school enjoy the hummingbirds while they are
here.
