This Bird Nerds group is asynchronous, we will not have any live meetings. 

If you have a child that is constantly talking about birds, enroll them in this group.  The goal of this group is to have fun while interacting and learning interesting facts about birds and completing different bird-themed activities with other "Bird Nerds" through sharing and discussion.

I will post a minimum of one thread per week regarding birds to encourage students to chat with one another and share sketches,  facts, riddles, books,  and news items about birds. The posts will vary but will include conversation starters and requests to share their interest in birds with their peers

In addition to my weekly posts, learners are also encouraged to make posts of their own. Their posts could be to share anything they would like regarding birds, it could be a new fact that they learned, a bird they saw in their part of the world, ask a question about a certain bird, or just about anything they can think of that is bird-related.

My job as the head Bird Nerd is to create weekly posts to encourage conversations, comment on students' posts and ensure a fun and safe environment for each student. Discussions will vary each week depending on the interests of each and every student but will always be based on birds.

Possible posts:
* This is the time of year that many birds migrate.  What activity have you seen in your part of the world?

* I love a good bird sketch.  Who has done one lately on paper or in a digital format?

* There are so many different kinds of songbirds.  Which ones are active in your neighborhood right now?

* Have you heard of any news stories about birds recently?  Has a new species been discovered? 

* Do you have any bird photographs that you would like to share with our group this week?
