We will also discuss common birds seen in the Kingston area and how to identify them. \u00a0The species that are focused on will differ depending on the season and what species are currently present at Elbow Lake.<\/p><p>Field games involving migration and the use of our binoculars will also be included.<\/p><p>*For younger grades, after students learn the features of a bird, they will work in groups to apply their knowledge and create a bird of their own, developing a life history profile and presenting it to the class.<\/p><p>*For older grades, there is an optional program that includes Classification and Dichotomous Keys. Identification and differentiation of species is an integral part of the study of life. Students will learn how dichotomous keys are formed, based on morphological differences and similarities between species. This workshop can be tailored so that students design their own dichotomous keys, and\/or get experience using an existing key for birds.
