Ornithology: Bird Biology - Grades 5 & 6 2026

Did you know that there are roughly 10,000 species of birds on our planet right now? Did you know that feathers are made up of the same material as our fingernails? If you want to learn more cool facts about birds, join us as we explore the science of ornithology, the study of birds! Let's fly into the wonderful world of avian natural history, structure and function, behavior, intelligence, ecology, diversity, origins, and so much more. Class meets Monday - Thursday from 9am - 3pm with an optional birding trip on Friday morning!
