In this webinar, Paige, Zeb, Dana, and Ethan discuss the engineering marvels of bird nesting. We discuss the eight different types of nests, and species in Missouri that represent the different types. We discuss some fun activities to do with kids that show the wonder of bird nesting, and provide a list of resources at the end of helpful websites and further activities.
This webinar is the family-version of a similar webinar Bird Nests: Adults. What that means is that there is more kid-friendly language, and more activities directed to be done with the whole family.
