Our Grade Four Class Blog The Case of the Curious Classroom 

We Skyped with Bird Studies Canada. They live in Ontario. They were also biologists. They showed us the Ruby Crowned Kinglet, the Fox Sparrow, and the Warbler. We were hoping we could see an owl but the biologist doubted they would catch one.  The biologists had a surprise for us!

They taught us a lot of things like the claws and how they band the birds.They put the band on  slowly on with a tong.They also taught us about the beak. The Fox Sparrow was very fuzzy like a fox.  It was tiny, had gray head, and brown body.  It even enjoys seeds and has a big bill. The Ruby Crowned Kinglet weighed as light as a loonie, which is 7 grams.The Ruby Crowned Kinglet also had a red crown on its’ head. The  Warbler weighed as much as 5 loonies.  The Warbler had a black and yellow rump on its back. It also had a yellow bottom. The Warbler enjoys berries. The Saw-Whet Owl was a bit chubby with big yellow eyes. The Saw-Whet  Owl had a high pitched coo, coo, coo sound. It had a white catlike face. It was really enjoyable learning about the birds because it was my first time learning about all of the different birds. My favourite part was were they taught us about the Saw-Whet Owl because it looked so cute!
