Hello and welcome to my web page.Did you know that barred owls will sometimes swallow their prey whole?If you would like to learn more keep reading!

The barred owl lives in the eastern United States, Oregon, northern California,Florida and Texas.It prefers dense woodlands but can be attracted to an owl house. The barred owl does not need to migrate because it can find every thing it needs in its habitat.

Female barred owls will lay 1-5 eggs in a brood at range but will lay 2-3 eggs at average.Their eggs are white without markings and will hatch after 28-33 days.The female will incubate during this period of time.barred owls are fledglings for 42-44 days and will leave there parents after 6 months.

A fully grown Barred Owl is 12-23 inches while its wingspan rises over 40 inches. Its chunky body looks like your typical owl body along with its heart shaped facial disk.

Like most baby birds baby barred owls have many downy feathers. Downy feathers are also called down feathers. They help keep the bird warm. Adult barred owls also have some downy feathers. They need these feathers to keep warm in winter. These owls also have flight feathers that can maneuver silently. This helps them sneak up on their prey. They usually hunt in the day but you will usually hear their calls at night. Their feathers are white and brown. These colors help them survive by camoflauging in the woods. The Barred Owl has brown bars on its chest which is actually how it got its name.

Barred owls have small yellow beaks and use to tear its prey. If their prey is small they will swallow it.

Barred owls feet have sharp talons which helps them kill and grip their prey.They have 4 toes on each foot.One of those toes is movable so they can change their grip on prey

Barred owls nest in tree cavitys.They will nest in 20-40 feet trees and use no nesting material.

Help! Barred owls are in danger! Barred owls are in danger by many things but here are just a few. 1# Forest fires. Forest fires are dangers because barred owls make nests in trees. We can prevent forest fires by using less gasoline. 2# Rat poison.Even though a barred owl or any other bird of prey probably wouldn't eat the rat poison a smaller animal like a mouse might come and eat the rat poison and then the barred owl will find the mouse and eat it but the Barred owl doesn't know that the rat has been poisoned! After the Barred owls digests the poison it will die.We can prevent this from happening by not using pestisides or rat poison. 3# Storms. If a big storm came the Barred owl would lose its habitat This is a natural thing so we can't prevent it.If you see an injured,sick or lost bird take it strait to the wild bird fund.

Hi I'm sofyan I will be teaching about the american crow. Did you know that all of the crow's body is black and i mean everything! There will be a lot of facts about the crow if you keep reading.

American crows are very common birds. They mostly live in woodlands and forests. This is a good place to find food. Crows can also be found in fields or in garbage dumps. They can find food in these places not just the in woods. In this habitat the crow can find water and food good nesting places and they can see predators.

the american crow can get up to 18 inches from the tip of it's beak to the end of it's tail. This is about the size of a file cabinet . Its wingspan is 36 inches which is the same as three feet. The crow is all black because if they are hunting they can blend in, especially at night.

crows wingspan:)

The crow is all black. it's feathers are made for flying and staying warm and blending in.

The crow uses it's feet and beak for many things like eating and attacking.Crow's use there beak to take twig's and they use it make there nest.

A crow builds it's nest on dead trees and on alive trees they make there nest like a cup shape. The crow lays eggs one time a year. They lay 4-6 eggs a year .They incubate for 18 days, incubate mean's how long the bird sits on the egg.

crow nest :D

The crow make's 4-6 eggs a year. There eggs have little brown spot's with minty blue. Crows that just got born are very very small.They are not even half the size of a full grown crow. They also have no feathers and have not open'd there eyes yet.

Crows have many dangers, they die from them all the time. the most common dangers are getting tangled and loss of habitat. Loss of habitat can take away their food and water and places to nest.

loss of habitat:(

If you see a hurt bird call wild bird fund#add. Some ways you can help bird's not die is use less gas cars and more electric cars to help the air .Recycle your trash and cut up string or plastic so birds don't get tangled in it. .

byeeeeeee!!

Buckle up to be mind blown by these facts your about to hear! The bird you're about to read about is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. It's really small and cute. Did you know that the Ruby-throated Hummingbird collects nectar from 1000 flowers in one whole day! well that's not the best fact you heard yet. Keep reading to find out more!

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds usually lives in meadows and near the woods. They can also live in parks and flower gardens. They need specific flowers to survive. Some of the flowers are honey suckles, morning glories, petunias, and lilacs.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird makes a cup nest. They build their nest in maple, apple, pine or oak trees. They build the nests in May or June. The nests are built up 60 feet high. The materials they use for the nests are plant fuzz, bark, and lichens. But they don't hold together well, so they use spider webs to hold all the materials together. They also build their nests to protect the babies.

Speaking of babies, a female lays 2 eggs in a brood. They eggs are plain white with no marking. The female incubates for 14-16 days. The female incubates so the eggs can be warm and hatch easier. When the babies hatch, they become hatchlings. The female feeds the babies for 14-18 days. When they are fledglings they eat from their mom's beak. When they fly they are not really fledglings anymore.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird size is only 3 inches! It's also the smallest bird in the state. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is very flexible. They can fly forward, backwards, upwards, downwards, & even to the side. Their tail is short.

The male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the only one that has the ruby throat. That is only to attract the female easier. The female has dark colors to camouflage in the nest to protect the babies. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird has flight,body,& special feathers.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird migrates because it can get cold in the habitat they are in. They don't want to live in a cold habitat cause all the flowers they eat die. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird migrates south from New York in the fall. They go to Mexico and Central America. They go there because it is warm and there are lots of flowers.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird has a sipping beak. It's long, thin, and usually black. They use their beak for sipping nectar. They have a long tounge to sip the nectar. That's how the Ruby-throated Hummingbird uses their beak.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird has perching feet. They use their feet to perch to see where they are going. Especially so the male & female can get the food for the babies.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird Lives in Mexico in Fall, Winter, & Spring. But when it's Summer, the Ruby-throated migrates to New York. The flowers bloom in the Summer so they don't die. But in Fall, all the flowers in New York die. It gets to cold. So they migrate to Mexico cause it's warm for them when it's fall in Mexico.

The first danger the Ruby-throated Hummingbird faces is climate change. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird can lose lots of flowers cause of climate change. We can plant more flowers so the Ruby-throated Hummingbird can eat easier. The second danger is glass collisions. Other birds have this problem too. We can draw on our windows so birds can see the windows and and not bump into it. The third danger habitat loss, some people can plant the wrong flowers, so we need to make sure to plant the right flowers so Ruby-throated Hummingbirds can eat safely.

Hi everybody! I'm gonna teach you about Red Tailed hawks! Did you know that red tailed hawks are the most common hawk in North america, with global population of about two million birds. so don't leave now...it's about to get good.

The red tailed hawk lives in a forest habitat were it can survive with water, shelter and food. It eats mourning doves and rats and small animals. Did you know red tailed hawks like to perch on high trees or buildings and swoops down to get it's prey.

Have you ever seen a red tailed flying in the sky if you have you would see it's REALLY BIG. It's wingspan can be up to 54 inches (WOW! THAT'S BIG) and it's body is up to 19-23. that's cool!

Red tailed hawks have three toes in the front and one in the back. Awsome right! Okay there are six kinds of feet perching,climbing,predator,swimming wading and running. my guess is the red tailed hawks have predator feet considering it grabs it's food with it's talons and finds a place to eat.

Red tailed hawk beaks are VERY sharp. they are called tearing beaks. They use their beaks to rip up it's food into small pieces so they can swallow it down. Did you know bald eagles have tearing beaks too! red tailed hawks can eat small animals as morning doves, pigeons and mice!

Red tailed hawk nests are big like really big. There nests are something called a platform nest, that means there nests are built on platforms or areas in a sturdy tree! Did you know fledglings are fledglings for 45-46 days and during that time the male and female feed the young, cool right!

Red tailed hawks lay 2-3 eggs per year. There eggs are white with brown spots. Awsome right! The female AND male sit on there eggs for 30-35 days cool right!

This is a red tailed hawk migrating. it's a partial migrater when it does migrate it migrates south to find more food to eat and digest.

Red tailed hawks have strong feathers it helps them fly around or dive down to get it's food, so cool right. Did you know red tailed hawk males sometimes sky dance to find mates. but in other words there showing off.

This is balloon string, this a danger to ALL birds including Red tailed hawks. why? you may ask. this balloon string can tangle up baby birds or grown birds. it can stop them from take off so if it get's in danger it can't fly away.

This next slide may be a little disturbing but another danger to Red tailed hawks are rats. If rats eat rat poison then the red tailed hawk eats it, IT could get poisoned and/or get sick or maybe even die.

If you find a hurt or worse bird take it to the wild bird fund in manhattan they will treat the bird very well.

We need to pick up our trash so baby birds and grown up birds don't eat it.

That's the end of my show. Thank you for listening. This took me three days to make and i'm proud of it thank you.

Kick back,relax,get a snack,and get cozy,because we are going on a ride! HERE...WE...GO!!!(Small fact!) Did you know the Great-horned Owl does not have all waterproof feathers? How in the world do they survive? Keep reading to find out more.

HABITAT:The Great Horned Owl is found in all of New York in every season. Even in New York City! But the Great-horned Owl prefers a nice quiet snowy forest over the loud city.

Their habitat is perfect for them! It has food,such as: Mammals,other birds(like ducks),snakes, insects ect .It's habitat also has water.

Great-horned Owl camouflaged in it's nest

NESTS:The Great-horned Owl doesn't always build it's own nest,instead they take over a nest of a crow,hawk,or Great Blue Heron.If there's no nest in sight,then they find a partial cavity in a tree(as you see in the photo,)a tree stump,or a broken tree.

The Great Horned Owl does not migrate from New York. They don't have to migrate because they can always find the resources like food and water all year long.

BABES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BABES AND EGGS:The mama owl Incubates their eggs to keep them warm and to help them grow. When the baby hatches they become a hatchling. A hatchling is like a baby bird. They still need their mother to incubate them. Their parents through their shells out of the nest by flicking them with their beaks. They also do this with their poop. The Great-horned Owl baby becomes a fledgling for 30-35 days. A fledgling is like a teenager. They can go out of the nest alone for the first times. The mom and the dad will still feed their baby.

SIZE:A Great-horned Owl is a pretty big bird. Its body is 21 to 25 inches long. That is the size of 2 one foot tiles in the hallway of our school. Its wingspan is about 4 feet. That's like the size of my arms stretched out.

The Great-horned owl has an pretty upright body for a bird. Both male and female look almost exactly the same but the female is a little bigger.

FEET:The Great-horn Owl has weird feet.It's foot has two toes in the front,one toe in the back,and one toe that acts like a thumb! I thought we were the only beings with thumbs!

BEAKS:The Great-horned Owl has a small and sharp beak.Their beak is 1.5 inches.They also have a tearing beak to tear up their food.

FEATHERS:The Great-horned Owl has a blackish-brownish "V" shaped thing on their neck making a necklace look'n thing.They also have a zebra padern on their breast and stumach.

DANGERS:The Great-horned Owl faces three mager dangers:

DANGER#1: Eating rats or mice that ate RAT POISON.

DANGER#2: Loss of habitat.

DANGER#3: Being hit by an car.

HOW TO HELP: You can help by not putting out rat poison, not chopping down trees, and being a careful driver.

That's how a Great-horned Owl says "good job!"

Hello reader. Do you want to learn about the wood duck? Keep reading to learn more! (Quick fact!) Did you know that the male wood ducks have a cool crest to attract a mate? Come on. Lets start reading and learning about wood ducks!

Lets talk about STRUCTURAL ADAPTATIONS!

1# BEAK. The wood duck has a straining beak. A straining beak is a beak with a LOT of thin teeth and they wave their beak in the water and then they strain all the water out and then they're left with the krill and shrimp and all their tiny prey. With their pinkish orange beak.

2#FEET Wood ducks and all other ducks have webbed feet. Whats the big deal you ask? A wood duck is a water bird so it needs those flipper like feet to swim in the water/pounds/lakes to easily get there food. Flipper feet are also good for walking a little bit onto land.

3# FEATHERS Wood Ducks have waterproof feathers like all other ducks. because they live in water because they get their food in water and they cant get those feathers wet weeellll they do get wet but they shake the water off because if they wouldn't be able to fly for migration of get away from predator.

wood duck shaking of water

Now let's talk about behavioral adaptations.

4# MIGRATION Wood ducks migrate to survive. Ok ok ok l mean the wood duck needs to fly soooooo far and towards the equator to go to a warmer area. If they stayed in New York when it was winter the water would be ice so it cant get the yummy food it needs to survive. When they fly to a warmer area the water isnt frozen so it can get the food it needs.

5# Nests The wood duck nests in tree cavities from abandoned woodpecker nests or box nests that people make out of wood. Wood Ducks have to build there nests near water to get the food they need like krill and shrimp

Habitat the wood duck usually lives in forests with lakes and pounds. it needs to live near lakes and pounds to get the food it needs. Like plankton and shrimp and both live in water. And the lakes need to be near trees because they nest in woodpeckers abandon tree cavity nests. Or they nest in box nests that humans make.

body color the male wood duck iit has a lot of colors it has a white belly, brown chest,orange beak,green crest with white marks,black tail feathers female whole body baysh with brown spots

babies and eggs The female wood duck lays 10 to 15 white eggs at once every year. and the female incubates. whats incubation you ask? its when the female lays on the eggs to keep them protected and warm and the female incubates 28 to 36 day she incubates. once the eggs hatch they become hatchlings. And the parents go and get food chew it up and throw it back up in to the babys mouth. gross right well hatchlings can't chew. after hatchling comes flegling like the stage or a human toddler it stays a flegling for 56 to 68 days then nestling flegling then juvenile then adult.

dangers and how to help one of the wood duck dangers are fishing line it can get caught in it so you can help by looking before you fish to look if their any ducks or any other wildlife so you don't accidently hurt them. Another danger is polluted water that's a big problem because duck live in water so you can help by picking up your trash and if you see trash near a pound or lake pick it up and throw it out. And the last danger this bird called starling. The starling can takeover wood duck nests and fight for territory.

Hello! We are here to teach you about ruby throated hummingbiirds.

Its habitat is plain gardens meadows and along woodlands with flowers it goes to find water and high up in a tree.

The Ruby-throated hummingbird has beautiful colors. The head is green. The beak is black the throat is ruby red the body is green

The male tries to attract the female.The female can camoflauge green and that makes it hard to see her in the nest and trees

The Ruby throated humming has a sipping beak. its tong and it beak helps it to get necter from the flowers. feet is prching feet humming brids dont walk but it doss help to prch

The Ruby-Throated humming bird migrates this means if they have no flowers to sip on then they have to go to the south to find flowers .Then they have to go to the south to find flowers.They are New York in the Summer but they fly to Mexico or Central America in the fall.The Ruby throated humming bird builds a cup nest they build a nest in a tree.They use plant fuzz lichens and bark with spider web.They build a nest for they need to keep to hide from predators and keep the babies safe.The female humming bird lays lots of babies per year.

The Ruby throated humming birds eggs have no marking on them. They incubate to 12 to 14 day.They incubate for to keep the egg safe and warm. They get them food.It is a fledgling for 14 to 18 days.When they are a fledgling they about to leave the nest and try to fly.

The Ruby throated humming bird dangers are habitat loss and climate change windows collision forest fire.Habitat loss and climate change is a problem because if they leave the habitat the could get lost in the habitat and changes the habitat can changes if bad thing can happen.If they stay near the habitat and help them to them to them to stay in a nest.window collision is a problem because if bird dont look they can brake a wing.Forest fire is a problem because if the fire starts under nest birds can die. If birds can stay away and fly as fast as they can.

Bye, and thank you!

The end!

Today you're about to learn about the pileated woodpecker! Read on to learn more abut this awsome bird!

The Pileated Woodpecker lives in a forest near a lake with large standing dead trees and downed wood in the forst so it can get its food. It could live in a evergreen or deciuous forest. A deciduos forest is a forest with lots of dry leaves.

The male pileated woodpecker has a butifull red crown. It has black near the tail feathers and white on its head. It has a black line on its eye and red on its chin. The female has mostly the same as the male but the female has black on its chin and a blue and grey beak.

The pileated woodpecker is 19 inches from its beak to its tail. Thats the size of our air puriefire. Its wingspan is 30 inches. Thats as wide as a shelf in our classroom.

The pileated wood pecker has a grey drilling beak. This beak is long and pointy and sharp at the tip. This beak helps it pick in the trees to get its food. The Pileated Woodpecker eats worms and other incects in trees.

The pileated woodpeckers climbing feet helps the pileated grip on to the trees like spider man. It has two toes in the front and two toes in the back. This helps it to grip and grab onto the bark.

The pileated woodpecker has a cavity nest. A cavity is a hole in a tree or something else. The woodpecker doesn't have to build a nest and they just lay their eggs in the tree cavity. The nest is to protect their babies.

A pileated woodpecker's eggs are white. The female lays 3-5 in a brood. A brood is how many eggs the female lays at a time. They incubate the eggs for 15-18 days before they hatch. They incubate because if the egg isn't warm it might crack or be to cold to grow. When they hatch, the babies eyes are closed and they stick their beaks up and out so their parents can see and give them food. After 26-28 days they're a fledgling. A fledgling is when they are about to have their first time flying.

The pileated woodpecker does not migrate. It doesn't migrate because it can find its tree food in the winter. The tree and feathers help it keep warm.

The pileated woodpecker dangers are habitat loss people who get rid of dead trees loss of food nest lost. Forest fires are a big problem for pileated woodpeckers because the fire can kill them and the trees will fall down after the fire. Then they don't have anywhere to nest. We can prevent fires by fully puting out are fires and working to stop climate change.

Thank you for reading about this awsome bird!

Hello readers! Welcome to my slideshow. You are about to learn about a fierce and spectacular bird named the Peregrine Falcon. Get some popcorn, sit back, relax, and enjoy these fun facts. In fact here's one right now. Did you know the Peregrine speeds up to 200 mph while hunting for prey? Cool huh? Well your about to learn allot more!

If there are ducks or shorebirds in the area somewhere, the Peregrine is probably near. You can see a Peregrine near coasts all over North America. You might also see a Peregrine when it is migrating in the city. It loves rock pigeons, shorebirds, and waterfowl. It can also be found in forests, and on cliffs. These are good habitats because it can find water, space, food, and a place to nest.

The Peregrine makes her nest on a cliff edge or bridge. She makes a scrape nest. The female lays 3-4 eggs in one brood. They are white, with some with brown markings. The male and female incubate the eggs for 29-32 days, and the fledgling can leave the nest and find food for itself in 35-42 days. This bird incubates too keep their eggs warm because if they just left the eggs there in the nest without their mother or fathers warmth, they probably wouldn't hatch.

The Peregrine Falcon can migrate from Alaska to Argentina. It moves around to find more of its food. It also migrates for a better place where its warmer in winter time and for its babies. It migrates when its spring time because it takes a long time to fly from Alaska to Argentina. Now your probably wondering, how does it know where its going? Well the peregrine has something called a structural adaptation and it can track where its going.

Male: It is 16-20". (41-51 cm) Its wingspan is up to 3 ft! (42".) It weighs 500-800 g. I would say it is about the same shape as a red tailed hawk. Female: 13-23 ". (46-55 cm). And has a wingspan up to 112 cm. And weighs 750-1,200 g. I think its about the same shape as a rough legged hawk.

The Peregrine has amazing feet called talons. Talons are sharp claws that can hold onto prey after they have hunted with their beak. They also use their feet to grip onto tall surfaces that have edges in case they fall. The Peregrine also has a cool beak. It is called a tearing beak. This beak is good for the bird because it can just tear it open. For example, if it had a picking beak it would take way longer to actually start eating it. But a tearing beak gets the job done.

The peregrine falcon male has a tan body, black head, yellow beak tipped with grey, chest and under-tail dotted with black, yellow eye-ring, black feathers, white and black neck, they also have a grey back. The female is similar to male but noticeably larger.

There are 3 big dangers for this bird and i'm about to tell you them . #1 shooting. This is a problem because its not right to kill a animal for your survival. We can make this less of a problem by eating something other than that bird. The second danger is pesticide poisoning. This is a problem because your killing birds by putting a chemical in your plants so they can grow. We can make this less of a problem by putting actual work into growing it and not taking shortcuts. Especially when it kills something. The third danger is air pollution. This is a problem because if your driving a car gas/smoke can come out and if a bird is migrating they can breath it and die. We can make this less of a problem by trying to get a car that does not run by gas? Maybe like a Tesla or a hybrid car? That would be a little better for them.

Thank you for reading my slideshow. Remember to look out for the Peregrine falcon and all other birds if you can! Also a way to help is to see if there is an injured or sick bird here are some ways to help it. if its bleeding bring it to the wild bird fund. If its just got a little cut put it back in the nest if you can reach it. if not just leave it be. Thank you for reading!

Hi! I am going to teach you about Osprey. They are also called the fishing hawks. Did you know that Osprey go by many different names not just Osprey? Keep reading this webpage to find more interesting things about ospreys.

Ospreys live near water. They live near rivers, lakes and the coast. They can be found near water either fresh or salt where large numbers of are present.

The ospreys has a white chest/ bell and head. It has a dark eye line. And a nearly all black back. They have black on the wings and a dark beak.

The male and the female are the same but the female is slightly larger and with a necklace of brown streaks.

The Osprey has flight feathers that are good with water. When they get wet the water slides right off. The Osprey feathers help it survive because it eat fish and so it will need to dive to get the food it needs and if it didn't have feather it won't get the food it to survive.

The Osprey has a tearing beak . You might be wondering what is a tearing beak a tearing is like a knife because bird can't use knife so they use to cut/ tear they food like ospreys. Ospreys eta fish so they need to tear they food. That is why Ospreys have tearing beak. The Ospreys beak has a little curve and the beak is black.

The Ospreys feet are made for grabbing fish that are slimy. They have to fly and grab a fish from the water so they need talons to dig into the fish. they bring the fish back to their nest and use their feet to hold it still while their beak tears it.

The Osprey has a platform nest. A platform nest is a nest that is high up in a dead tree or a platform someone built. They want to be high up so they can look for predators and to fly out straight away and find their food in the water. It uses sticks and dead grass. It also uses anything it can get its talons on that might be good for its nest to be nice for its nestlings. They make a nest to make a place to lay its eggs.

The Osprey migrates. They need to migrate because they need to find the food they need. When it is winter lots of lakes will be frozen and that's not good. If they can't find a place to go in the water they can't find the fish. They migrate to a warmer place where theres lots of fish. They migrate to Mexico and Central and South America.

The Osprey lays 2-4 eggs in one brood. The Ospreys eggs are white with brown spots. The Osprey incubate it egg for 32-42 days. Ospreys incubate to help they babies inside the eggs grow. Osprey parents when the egg hatch must feed they hatchling and sit on they/ incubate they. Ospreys are fledgling for 2 week/14 days. When Ospreys are fledgling they need to learn for they parents like how to get food and how to make/build a nest.

there of Osprey bigs dangers are string fishing line and oil spill. We can cut up the string. The reasin why it's a problem is because it can get tangloled in its feet. fishing line is a problem because if it got in the nest it can get tangeled with a baby. Safely put away, throw away or recycle unused fishing line. Oil spill are a problem to Ospreys because it can plot the water and that can plot the fish in the water. We can be more carful with not haveing oil spills or messing up our water.

I hope you learned a lot about Ospreys on my webpage.

The American Robin is Connecticut's state bird, and don't be surprised they picked it, because it was a good choice. Did you know that when colonists arrived in North America from Europe, they saw a bird that made them think of the European Robin, and gave it the same name- Robin?

The American Robin is 9 to 11 inches, It is about the size of a door handle. Its stomach is the shape of half of a tilted oval. Its wingspan is 12 to 14 inches. That is about the size of your average classroom chair. The American Robin has an orange belly, with gray wings and a black and white head. the male's belly and head is darker than the female's.

There are different types of bird beaks. The Northern Cardinal has a cracking beak so it can crack nuts and eat them. If a Toucan tried that, it's beak would crack. The American Robin has a picking beak, so it can grab berries, worms, insects, and fruit.

Like beaks, there are many different kinds of bird feet. The American Robin has perching feet, so it can grapple onto branches. this is handy for building a nest or getting food.

The American Robin lives almost anywhere south of Canada in the Summer and Spring. They live in Northern Canada until Winter, when they retreat southward.

The American Robin builds a cup nest, usually in the middle of two branches. The male brings the female twigs, scraps of rags and string, and grass while she shapes it with her body. They have to build a nest to protect their babies from danger.

In one brood, the female lays 4 to 7 eggs, which are light blue without markings. The female incubates them for 12 to 14 days. She incubates the eggs so they're warm enough to hatch. After the babies hatch, their parents feed them food. They can eat a LOT of worms a day.

American Robins are fledglings for 14 to 16 days. While they are fledglings, their mom teaches them how to fly. One by one, off they go, and their mother raises another set of babies, and the cycle starts anew.

The first danger to a songbird like American Robins are cats. Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't get me wrong-

-I'm a cat person too, but let your cat in the backyard, and you're pretty much guaranteed a few dead songbirds. But the good news is it's an easy fix. Just don't leave them unsupervised, or don't let them outside, and keep them occupied with toys and a litter box.

The second danger is loss of habitat. The parks of New York (and random places upstate) are some of the best homes for birds to live. So if humans get rid of them, they are also getting rid of birds. So what we can do is just not be a bunch of lumberjacks and actually CARE about the community!

The third danger is window collisions. So many birds die from window collisions a year. So what we can do to stop bird corpses lying on our front porch because our windows are so reflective is just put a bunch of stickers or lines on your windows, so birds can see it's just a reflection and turn around.

Thank you so much for reading my slideshow! Yes-it is done, so you can throw away your popcorn and delete this tab. I hope you enjoyed!!!

Get ready. You are going to need a checklist for this. You are about to learn a lot about the Great Blue Heron. Did you know Great Blue Heron males and females look the same? keep reading to learn a lot more.

The Great Blue Heron's habitat is in big lakes, river edges, and wetlands. The Great Blue Heron's source of water is lakes. This habitat is good for the Great Blue Heron because can find the food they need.

The Great Blue Heron is 42-48 inches from its beak to its tail. there body parts are like a rock. the Great blue heron is grey with a little blue. The Great Blue Heron has body feathers. the Great Blue Herons feathers help them survive because the grey on there feathers make them look like a rock in the water.

The Great Blue Heron has a striking beak. the beak helps it get fish because there beak is very long so they can strike at the fish and get it fast. They have long and half webbed feet. There legs help them hunt because there feet look like sticks to the fish.

The Great Blue Herons biuld platform nest and they biuld the nest in dead trees They use medium to large twigs to build there nest. they biuld there nest so tThey can keep their eggs safe.

The female heron lays 3 to 5 eggs in a brood. A brood is a bunch of eggs that come out at the same time. The eggs are green and blue with no markings. The Great Blue Heron incubate for 20-27 days. They incubate so the eggs stay warm. When the eggs hatch the parents sit on them. They are fledglings for 56-60 days. The parents feed and teach the fledglings how to survive.

The Great blue heron's dangers are human destruction and getting tangled. Humans destroy wetlands and this is their habitat. We can help by telling people not to build on or close to wetlands. Humans should not dry up wetlands. Balloon strings are a problem because if you let go of a balloon it can lose helium and then go in the water. The heron can get tangled in the string in the water and it can't get free. We can help by not buying balloons or cutting the strings before we throw it in the garbage.

Hi, everybody! Get ready to lern about the amazing Peregrine Falcon! Did you know that the Peregrine Falcon can dive up to 200mph? Lets start learning more things about this amazing bird!
The Peregrine Falcon is 16-20in, which is about the size of one of our privacy boards in our classroom and it's wing span is 4ft! This is about the size of half of a table in the classroom The peregrine falcon has dark brown wings. Its chest and belly are light tan, with black spots. Their claws are a light yellow, it has a grey beak, and black thick side burns. The male is the same, but noticeably smaller then the female. Otherwise, it is the same.

The Peregrine Falcon has a tearing beak so that if it gets food too big for it to eat then they can tear it up into strips to eat and to feed its chicks. The Peregrine Falcon eats rock pigeons in cities, and water fowl in rural areas.

The Peregrine Falcon has predator feet so that it can trap and kill its prey. It has things on its feet called talons. Talons are sharp things at the end of raptors (such as Eagles, Falcons, and Hawks) feet.

Peregrines can live in many places in New York State. From places like Alaska, to places like New York City! If you go birding, you might see one! You are more likely to see one a bit farther north, however.

The Peregrine Falcon migrates to Argentina, Seatle, The Gulf Of Mexico, and many other places. It will meet up with other raptors, or even other peregrines to eat, hunt, play and just enjoy not being alone.

The peregrine makes a scrape nest, wich means they will just dig a shalow hole in a clift. It has to build a nest to grow their chicks in.

A female peregrine will lay 3-4 eggs per year. The eggs are white with brown markings. The female will incubate the eggs for 29-32 days, and both parents will incubate. They must incubate in order for the eggs to stay warm. The chicks are fledglings for 35-42 days. After the peregrine hatches, the mom keeps it warm and the chicks eat meat in small strips from day one of its life!

Danger #1 of a peregrine falcon is air pollution. This is hard to stop, but we can get less people to smoke with pipes, and clean energy buses. Danger #2 is rat poison. So, a rat eats the poison, then a bird eats the posond rat, then a peregrine eats the poisond bird, and it gets poisond. The last danger is basicly the same. Pesticides, such as DDT, that you sprey on plants, moles eat the plants, then a peregrine or other bird of prey eats the mole.
THE END!!!!!

The Mute Swan is 60 inches long from its beak to its tail. This is about the size of a school window. The Mute Swan has a wingspan of 7 feet! 7 feet is bigger than grown-ups. The Mute swan is white and it has an orange beak, and It has grayish/brownish feet.

The Mute Swan has swimming or webbed feet. The feet help the bird in the water to swim and walk on land.

The Mute Swan's beak is good for straining in the water and getting out food and cleaning their feathers.

We all know the Mute Swan needs a nest. Mute Swan's bulid their nests on the ground . What do they use to bulid it? They use dead grass to build their nest

Their Eggs.The Mute Swan lays over 4-8; eggs. and their light gray without markings. the eggs are incubated before the eggs hatch.

Dangers:

Danger #1: Getting tied in a fishing net.

Danger#2: Eating bread.

Danger#3: Dirty water.

You can stop feeding Mute Swan bread. This is not their diet and it makes their body to heavy to fly. You can also keep trash out of water so they do not get tangled up.

Thank you by Queen and Suelenny

Have you ever seen ducks near a pond? What about the mallard duck? The male Mallard Duck has a olive green head. Isn't that cool? Keep reading to learn about this amazing bird.

The mallard duck is 19 to 21 inches about the size of my desk. the Mallard ducks wingspan is 32 inches. BEWARE: the female and the male look different. the male has a green head and a white necklace. it has a brown chest and a white stomach. the female has a grayish white head with a brown beak. she has tan dark brown feathers. this helps her to blend into the nest and the surroundings to keep her babies safe.

the male mallard beak is yellow. The female beak is brown. their beak is a straining beak. it strains the water to get its food from the water. they eat seed,pond plants,and other water plants. they also eat small fish,insects,and fish eggs.

the beak helps it get food and preen. the feet help it walk and swim.

the eggs are light green. the female lays 7-10 in a brood. a brood is a group of eggs. the female incubates the egg for 26-30 days. the mallard is a fledgling for 42-52 days. a fledgling is like a teenager. some predators that go after the adult and their eggs are the red-tailed hawks, foxs ,raccoons, minks , and badgers.

mallards migrate from north to south in fall. this way ,they are always where it is warm and there is food to eat. they are very adaptable. they can usually stay in new york all year but birds in canada have to migrate a little south.

quack is the sound a mallard duck makes. they call to their mates and to other ducks to alert them. they usually call to alert their babies.

The mallard duck makes cup nests. It is a nest shaped like a cup. They build the nest in the grass near the water. They use grass and sticks to make the nest. it makes its nest to keep its eggs safe.

There are many problems for the mallard duck like poisoned water, climate change, and a drought. If there are places with poison water or chemicals and they drink it, they can die. We need to talk to the government about keeping the water clean. Climate Change is horrible. It has effected lots of people and also effected animals. When the atmosphere is deteriorating it makes the temperatures change. Birds need the right temperature and if they can't find there food they cant survive. We should talk to the government or make sure we are doing good for earth.

Keep the mallard ducks safe and please spread the word!

Come learn about the Red-tailed Hawk.

The Red tailed Hawk lives in cities, mountains and woodlands. They live here because they can find food to eat.

The Red Tailed hawk is 19-23 inches long from its beak to its tail. The wingspan is 4 1/2'feet and The Red tailed Hawk is large. The-rough legged Hawk is the same size as the Red tailed Hawk.

The Red tailed hawk has chocolate brown and white feathers. On the tail the feathers are brown but look red. The Red tailed Hawk has white and little black dots on the bottom of the wings. The male and female mostly have the same color. The female is slightly larger than the male. The feathers help it camouflage and it can disguise in tree's.

The Red tailed hawk has a sharp tearing beak. When it finds it food it uses its beak and tears it up. They eat mice, carrion, large birds, bats, snakes and insects.

The Red tailed Hawk has sharp talons for food and when he see's a bat or snake it fly's and grabs it with its feet. The Red tailed Hawk uses its beak and feet for snakes and insects.

The Red tailed hawk lays 1 group of eggs per year and it has white eggs without markings. Sometimes they are marked with brown. They sit on the eggs for 30-35 days to keep the babies warm. The Red tailed hawk helps its baby's stay alive. The Dad will bring food for the mom everytime and the dad will watch the babies while the mom gets food for the dad. The babies are fledgling's for 45-46 days. When they are fledglings the parents will teach them how to survive.

The red tailed hawk lives in a tree and they make the nest in a tree. Some people build a platform for the hawk to make a nest on. The Red tailed hawk uses large, and medium branches or sticks for the babies. The Red tailed hawk builds the nest because if it doesn't have a tree/nest that means it has no where to lay their eggs.

If the Red tailed hawk is in danger their call is this kee-errrrrr and the juvenile does that in case they in danger too.

The Red tailed hawk's top dangers is the great horned owl and the second is the rat and mouse poisons. If they eat a rat or mouse that ate point then the hawk can be dead.

Dont cut down tree's and we can help birds survive.And we can build nest for them so they dont have to do the hard work. we can not use poison to kill rats. we can also help other bird like robins, eagles, other hawks, and small birds. we should all take care of birds.

I love barred owls but, that's because I know a lot about them. Today I'm going to teach you a little bit about them to show you how cool barred owls are! For example, females are LARGER then males. It's true! Males are 48 cm. Females are 51 cm! Owls in general are so cool. If you like this web page you can also check out Luna's project, Minnie's project and Nico's project!

Barred Owls live in Coniferous forests near sources of water and wooded swamps. They also live in pine, spruce, fir, and cedar forests. They need dense foliage for daytime roosting, and large trees that have cavities for nesting. Barred Owls rely on big trees for nesting. Even though barred owls eat a lot of different types of meat , (small snakes, rabbits, squirrels, mice, frogs, etc ) Great horned owls might eat barred owls eggs so barred owls need good forests for hiding.

Barred Owls eggs are white, sometimes with brown spots. Sometimes without brown spots. Females lay 2-3 broods per year. Barred Owls are fledgings for 42-44 days and are incubated for 28-33 days. They need to incubate to keep the egg to keep it warm. After the baby hach's, the mom or dad goes and gets small food around the area and brings it to the gaping babies! ( gaping= opening there mouths for food ) even if they are out of the egg, they still don't have there full feathers to keep it warm,so mom still has to sit on the babyies

Barred Owls don't migrate. The males have to find a nesting place. They usually find a nesting place by January. And besides, there is plenty of food to go around. Now this is not migration, but Barred Owls are found in other places outside of NY. Barred Owls are commonly heard in sothern swamps, dense woodland on the east side of the us, and pacific northwest.

Barred Owls are 20-24''. That s about the length of a privacy board ( a board to keep you privacy for a test or some thing ) and there wing span is the with of a regular door, the wingspan is 3 and a halve feet. Barred Owls have a round head and curved wide wings. They have a small curved beak with a sharp tip for tearing meat. Barred Owls feet have sharp talons and one flexible toe that can move back to front and the bottom grip is yellow and the top has white fur. It is used for tearing and catching meat. Barred Owls have amazing eye sight. They use their eyes to hunt at night so there prey don't notice them.

Barred Owls get their name from their feathers! Barred Owls have brown plumage that look like bars. They need these feathers because they switch from hunting, and protecting the babies by using camouflage to blend in with the tree.

Barred owls are powerful creatures but they have many dangers. nest loss, habitat loss and weather (wild fires,blizzards, etc ) it is also dangerous when people cut down habitat because it makes it very hard to find nesting places to produce more. To help these amazing ( and other )birds, you can put designs on windows so they don't bump into it. Hoped you liked this slide show. ciao! ; )

FACT : the barred owl has a sound ''who cooks for you, who cooks for you all ?''
EXTRA : Wild Bird Fund is a org that helps orphaned babies, hurt birds. contact if find orphaned or hurt bird.
