They can Identify 412 Species of Birds!

The kindergartners were able to identify 412 species of birds!  Wow!  That is impressive.  Not only can they identify them, they can do it so fast that I can barely click through the pictures fast enough on the slideshow.  The kindergartners are so proud of this accomplishment.  They know something that most adults know little about.  I recommend that you continue on with this.  Look through the field guides occasionally, practice bird flashcards, go exploring with the purpose to find birds, get good binoculars for them use and help support this.  During these days when so many children are indoors looking at screens, birding may be the gateway to get them outdoors more.  You will find that it is inexpensive, relaxing and/or good exercise.  Being outdoors in a nature area gives a person a sense of being part of something bigger.  Trying to spot birds and figure out what they are involves mindfulness and it whisks away your stress.  Give it a try!
