The kids learned about swallows migrating to South America, and returning the next spring safely. The adult female is a year old. Maybe we will see her again next year. Dave uses a GPS (?) to plot the exact location of the box when reporting the banding. What more can you want - math, social studies, and science all rolled into one lesson. |
