2007 seems like such a long time ago, doesn’t it? And not many people post a book list from 2007 when it’s getting ready to be 2009. But hey…I’m daring.

And I call myself a book lover.)

This 14-page Homeschooler’s Guide to Project FeederWatch [pdf] is a really cool collection of activities you can do as part of the bird-watching project. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology also has an entire page dedicated to learning more about birds. [ via Homeschooled Twins ]
