West Lee Middle School Bluebird Trail 2009 By Ncstatefan101 Graphic Organizer: · Monitoring · Growing up <span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; msobidifontfamily: Symbol;">·  What we have learned

The West Lee Middle School 6th graders have been monitoring 10 bluebird boxes since the beginning of 2009. We have 10 bluebird boxes on the campus of West Lee Middle School so we alternated on Tuesdays and Thursdays with five boxes on each day. When monitoring the bluebirds we had to walk around the school looking at the boxes and keeping data on how the nest has grown and the bluebirds. Also we had two houses that were empty this year and were not exactly sure why. We have seen bluebird eggs turn into bluebird babies to bluebirds that are ready to fledge. Watching these babies grow has been a wonderful experience with nature. We had 20 baby bluebirds that were in the boxes and 4 or 5 eggs did not hatch. When first seeing the babies they had spots of brown fur on them then their feathers started to form and they started to look more like bluebirds. Caring for the boxes has helped me be more responsible for nature and birds. We learned that the bluebird boxes have to be kept 100 feet apart so the male bluebirds do not fight over territory or try to hurt the other bluebirds young. When keeping the babies warm the mother and father had to alternate. One looked for food or took a break and the other sat on the eggs to keep them warm. Hopefully next years 6th graders will enjoy the privilege of the Bluebird trail and will learn just as much as I did this year. media type="custom" key="3928907"
