Next Monday, September 12, will be the next monthly meeting of the Cayuga Bird Club. We will be bringing back the reading of the list, so start keeping tracks of basin birds seen this week! NOTE: This meeting will be LIVE, at the Lab of Ornithology Auditorium. Doors open at 7, meeting starts at 7:30 and ends at 9 SHARP. We will record the meeting and make the link available on our Facebook page and on our website at a later date.
Jennifer Fee, Manager of K-12 programs at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, will present "Through the Lens of Birds: Connecting Kids to Nature". Many adults who care about the environment have treasured memories of the outdoors from their youth. For over 20 years, educators at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology have created resources that help young people go outdoors to learn through birds and to connect kids to nature. Come explore the breadth of our efforts to engage teachers as well as informal educators and families in citizen science and hands-on outdoor investigations. Try out a fun activity to help you explore birds...will you and your nestlings survive the perils? Then, learn about the K-12 team's efforts to engage young people and gain insights about nature's impacts on people's socio-emotional and physical well-being. You'll leave with a few favorite activities that you might want to try out yourself or with kids you know. Perhaps you'll be inspired to look at birds and the nature around you with fresh and curious eyes! Jennifer Fee is the Manager of K-12 programs at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where she and her team have developed a network of more than 30,000 educators who use Lab resources to engage kids through birds. She is also an instructor for the new "Let’s Go Outside! How to Connect Kids with Birds and Nature" course offered through Bird Academy. She holds a B.S. (Biology) from Truman State University and M.S. (Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics) from Illinois State University. Prior to joining the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, she worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden. See you all next week.
