When
Will The Rufies Reach Wrangle?
Alaskan
Students Wonder
Second graders at Evergreen Elementary School way up in Wrangle, Alaska, are waiting for their first Rufous hummer to arrive. Here's what they shared with us today!
Dear Friends, We just returned from our lunch recess, and conditions outside are wintry! Our temperature is 34 degrees and we have about 8" of snow on the ground. More snow is forecast for the weekend. We hope our little buddies have a warm place to hang out for a couple of weeks! |
 |
| We are standing at the edge of our school grounds near a wooded area. We will be doing many of our observations there. | |
We are located in Southeast Alaska at 56N latitude. We think that if a Rufous hummingbird has been seen in Mission, BC (Canada) at 49N latitude, they may be close! What do you think? |
 |
- When do you think these students might spot their first Rufous hummingbird?
- What questions do you have for them?
Stay tuned.
We'll report on what happens in Wrangle in a future update!
