FREE Bird Journaling and Coloring Pages

I really like these!

BTW -- I shared this info with someone else, so I thought I would post it here as well.

I am an avid bird watcher -- at least in my own yard. My oldest and I did a bird study, and I was hooked! I even printed out pictures of birds we see in our yard for Nathan, who was a year old then, which I then put into an inexpensive photo book. It was like his own little field guide to backyard birds. He had about 20 birds memorized in no time -- if the bird looked markedly different between the genders, I printed out each gender. I used the website www.enature.com (mhtml:{584198DF-034B-4FBB-ADE9-9F30CCA90D20}mid://00000019/!x-usc:http://www.enature.com/). You can enter your zip code and get a personalized field guide, so to speak.

Here are some other sites you probably already know of:

I also found the following field guide to be the best for us: http://www.amazon.com/Peterson-Field-Feeder-Eastern-America/dp/061805944X/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761381&sr=11-1 (mhtml:{584198DF-034B-4FBB-ADE9-9F30CCA90D20}mid://00000019/!x-usc:http://www.amazon.com/Peterson-Field-Feeder-Eastern-America/dp/061805944X/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761381&sr=11-1)

This is a great book on feeding birds: http://www.amazon.com/National-Audubon-Society-Concise-feeder/dp/0789414651/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761406&sr=11-1 (mhtml:{584198DF-034B-4FBB-ADE9-9F30CCA90D20}mid://00000019/!x-usc:http://www.amazon.com/National-Audubon-Society-Concise-feeder/dp/0789414651/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761406&sr=11-1)

This is a really cute log book the children can fill in: http://www.amazon.com/Bird-Log-Kids-Journal-Experiences/dp/1885061552/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761436&sr=11-1 (mhtml:{584198DF-034B-4FBB-ADE9-9F30CCA90D20}mid://00000019/!x-usc:http://www.amazon.com/Bird-Log-Kids-Journal-Experiences/dp/1885061552/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761436&sr=11-1)

This is a fabulous resource teaching practically everything there is to know about birds: http://www.amazon.com/Birdwatching-All-Ages-Activities-Children/dp/0871062348/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761491&sr=11-1 (mhtml:{584198DF-034B-4FBB-ADE9-9F30CCA90D20}mid://00000019/!x-usc:http://www.amazon.com/Birdwatching-All-Ages-Activities-Children/dp/0871062348/ref=sr_11_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1205761491&sr=11-1)

Thanks for thinking of us all! These are great resources. I am doing a study on birds with my boys right now so these are a welcomed addition to the materials we are studying now.
