Excerpt:
Things to Do Outside: Bird-Watching
More than 1,200 different kinds of birds are found in the US. Hawaii has the fewest with about 290 species. California has the most, at around 710 species. Most states have somewhere between 300 to 500 types. That means there’s a lot of birds to look for, wherever you are! State and national parks are often great for birding, and they often have free checklists to help you track what you see. Once you start trying to see them all, it’s a bit like a game to see who can spot the most.
Tip: Bring binoculars and a field guide to help you see, and identify, your finds!

Know Your Birds
Bird-watchers often keep a list of all the kinds of birds they have seen. These are some of the most common and widespread birds in the US. How many have you seen?
Tip: What’s your favorite kind of bird?

Bald Eagle
The bald eagle is considered the national symbol of the US, but not too long ago, it was endangered (at risk of going extinct). Bald eagles were in trouble largely due to habitat destruction, illegal hunting, and pesticides, especially DDT. DDT is a chemical that works great on mosquitoes but unfortunately causes birds’ eggs to become thinner and break. Thanks to laws and rules that helped protect bald eagles, they are doing well today and can be found throughout the country.
Tip: Eagles make huge nests called aeries (air-ees); often reused for years, these stick nests can weigh more than 1,000 pounds.
