9. Bird’s nests
Keep your eyes in the trees and look for evidence of home-building by our avian neighbors. Inspect what you see for different nest-building techniques in action and discuss the different kinds of birds that share our region. Check out Seattle Audubon’s guide to birds of Washington. (Fun fact: Squirrels also build nests in trees.)
For more exploration, research different birds’ migration paths for a geography lesson. If you’re inspired, find out more about birds with resources from Seattle Audubon or the Seward Park Audubon Center.
