Setting up a bird feeder is a fun way to add a nature study element to your homeschool curriculum.  It doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated .  Our main feeder station is made from a landscape timber set on end with a scrap board nailed on top.  Just 6 feet from one of our windows, we have an excellent vantage point from which to enjoy watching birds year-round.   Add a few different types of feeders and  types of feed, and watch an amazing array of birds visit your feeders!  Don’t know anything about birds?  Do what we did when we first started:   We taped photo sheets like these of common feeder birds to the window for easy and quick identification. These coloring sheets of common feeder birds were helpful as well.
