Resources include fun facts and learning activities to expand your understanding of and ability to identify the different types of birds you may see at or near your bird feeder this winter and spring. Fill your feeder (no later than May 6th if new) to allow birds to find and start visiting your location. Tally bird feeder observations May 20-24 with teams around the region. No birding experience is required to participate! You’re free to contact us with questions about feeders and birds anytime. If you want, we can schedule a virtual or in-person visit for your classroom or homeschool group as well. All teams officially observe their feeders daily May 20th – 24th for up to 15 minutes a day and record the type and number of birds observed. After watching the feeder for the entire week, they tally the results and report their findings back to us. The Tug Hill Bird Quest program is designed to help students and families learn more about the birds that call Tug Hill home. All teams receive weekly Bird of the Day emails in April and May, with Early Birds receiving additional resources January through April. A free tally sheet is provided for recording observations. Upon request, a free bird identification poster, Tug Hill Natural History Guide book, and/or bird seed and a bird feeder may be provided to teams as available on a first-come, first-served basis. Bird seed and feeders are donated to THTLT by regional businesses for teams needing them to participate in the Bird Quest. Completed tally sheets are due to THTLT by May 31, 2024, and a completed report will be sent out to participating teams and event sponsors the second week of June.
