Science!
Good Morning 4th Grade 🌞! Today, I wanted to make a 100% Science-specific post to start sharing out (and showing off 😁) your Science Reports and "Bird of the Day" pics.
-Science Reports: Open each report , click "Present" in the upper right part of the screen, and then read through all of their slides. I'm planning to post everyone's report, even those who presented already in class. If you have any questions or comments about the report, please share them with that student directly via Gmail or Google Hangouts chat. I'll post 6 reports each Tuesday in the coming weeks. You need to be logged into your school Gmail account in Chrome for these links to work.
LillyRay's Biology Report on Whales
Marco's Astronomy Report: Amazing Galaxies!
Anastacia's Ecology Report: Climate Change
Santiago's Biology Report: Australian Marsupials
Sam's Biology Report: Penguins
Cante's Geology Report: Igneous Rocks
-Birds of Northern New Mexico: Some of you shared pics of birds that you've seen in your yards that I wanted to pass along to everyone.
Aidan shared these great pics of a Scaled Quail, a House Finch, a Blue-footed Booby, a Eurasian Collared Dove, Anna's Hummingbird, and a Chihuahuan Raven!
Kamila shared these excellent pics and notes about a Mountain Bluebird, a Cassin's Finch, and others!
Bernice shared these clear drawings and thorough notes about 5 bird species that she observed last week:
Haley shared this detailed and artistic sketch she made of a Crow she saw:
At my house, we put feeders in the backyard, and I've been seeing a LOT of new birds this week.
Here's an American GoldFinch (Spinus tristus) who came by to have a snack. His size, body and head colors, and beak color helped us identify it:
I'm pretty sure this is an Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) that we saw at our hummingbird feeder. Two things that helped me identify it were its tail feather size and throat coloration:

And my favorite visitor so far is a Western Tanager (Piranga ludoviciana). Their brilliant yellow coat, small size and bright red head make it very distinct and easy to identify. They're shy and pretty uncommon, and he took off before I could take a decent picture, so here's a nice, clear photo that I borrowed from Merlin ID:
Be on the lookout for these beautiful birds as they stopover in Taos during the spring months. Let me know if you see one!
