Feathered Friends
Students will explore the many adaptations that allow birds to thrive in almost any environment on the planet.  A hands-on experiment will allow students to recognize the relationship between a bird’s beak and its ability to find food and survive in a given habitat.  The talons, wings, and feathers of many native Arizona birds will also be available for students to examine up close, giving them a unique perspective on these ‘masters of the air’.
