I hope you enjoyed observing, identifying, and recording your backyard
birds last week! It was nice to see some of the bird feeders posted on our
school Facebook page too! As the weather changes, so will the variety of birds
returning to our areas. This week I’d like you to add to your observations and start
a field journal. Please refer to the information below to support you with this
activity. In the upcoming weeks, we will
be looking at weather changes, habitats, and planting.
Have a great week!
Spring Field Journals
Scientist record Observations
in Field Journals
In your yard (or looking
through the window), choose a particular plant, tree, or area to observe.
Record daily changes in your
field journal

Each day record:
*the date
*the weather
*sketch changes you notice
Have the buds\leaves changed?
Are there any animals or more
plants growing? What noises do you hear?
Why does it matter?
Some field journals help
track important changes.
Check out the Whitney
Journals – a New Brunswick couple who recorded field journals that helped track
climate change over the years:
