Cornell Lab of Ornithology Bird ID Cards

The American Crow was taken by yours truly and it is much appreciated that one of my images was used. This pack of ID cards arrived in my mailbox just yesterday. They are beautifully made - and would make a great gift for a child.

I took this quick shot last night and really should have thought a bit more carefully about it and turned over one of the cards to show the range map and information that is given for each bird.

“A set of 38 large, colorful photos and interesting facts about common North American birds helps build bird identification skills. Revised, updated, and expanded!" These cards are one of the BirdSleuth Resources – others include a BirdSleuth Science Process Discovery Poster, Scavenger Hunt Cards, Bird Bingo Cards, Pocket Naturalist®, and BirdSleuth Poster 6-pack. For use with kids from Kindergarten to Grade 11.

BirdSleuth Bird ID Cards help kids become experts on identifying common backyard birds. The front of each card is a beautiful, full-color 5x8 image while the back of the card describes the habitat, food preferences, and breeding biology of the bird, along with a range map, trivia questions, and cool facts.

Each one of the 38 full-color laminated cards provides information on one of the most common birds. They are a great way to teach bird identification: each child in a group can become an expert on a bird or an individual can quiz herself on the bird names. There are also fun and easy-to-play games suggested, as well as BirdSleuth trivia questions and cool facts on every card. The cards also come in our Most Wanted Birds kit.”
