What a great idea! Try to get them outside with the birds and plants sometimes - it will make all the difference!

Thank you! Just getting started. I'm going to start teaching bio again to 9th graders. I want to use this site.

Hi! Once you are satisfied that this is an American Oystercatcher as I have suggested, you can change it from an "unknown" spotting to the right names. Kathleen
