In Haiti’s Central Plateau, Louiders and I have been taking
the UCC 2nd – 6th grade students out birding, class by
class. The kids learn how to use the
binoculars and the importance of protecting birds. We’re guaranteed to see the palmchats that
come to a nearby tree each morning to feed, and have seen and gray kingbirds and
also Hispaniolan woodpeckers which have either red heads (male) or black heads
(female). The kids are much more focused
on finding the birds than I had expected!
First grade and preschoolers get in-class lessons about how Haiti’s
pretty birds help us.
