Bird Walk-and-Talk - with Leigh Ann Beavers, local artist and field ornithologist
Leigh Ann Beavers teaches in the Art
Department at Washington and Lee University. Birds are the subject of many
of her own prints. She shares a passion for birds with her husband,
ornithologist Paul Cabe. Together they have worked on a number of
field-related bird studies. Leigh Ann will take us on a walk along the
wooded paths at Boxerwood and talk about the birds that you and your
students are likely to see and hear this winter at feeders or near the
school yard.

Make-and-Take
Project
Assemble a bird-watching station for your
classroom window ( includes feeder, log book, identification materials, and
lesson plans)
Boxerwood
educators have collected and produced classroom materials for a
preschool/primary unit on birds. You’ll spend the second half of the
workshop creating components for a bird-watching station and assembling
materials to teach about nests, beaks and feathers.
