• For younger students, this resource would make for an interesting and engaging read-aloud. 
• Older students may enjoy choosing their favorite bird to become an "expert" on, sharing what they have learned with their classmates. Have them focus on the environmental features that may change due to climate change in their presentation.
  
• For students in or around Oregon, this resource would make an excellent guide for a bird watching outdoor activity in the school's playground or nearby park.
