This is our fourth season for the Audubon Young Birders Club and we have an exciting season planned. The Young Birders Club is geared to children ages 6-18 years old (any child under 6 should be accompanied by an adult). Each new club member will receive a backpack with a T-shirt, birders guide, and binoculars with the annual $10 membership fee. Returning members will receive a special renewal gift.

Our season will include some exciting adventures to many of our wonderful nature spots to observe all the flora and fauna of the area. Most of the outings will be on weekends, so we would encourage the parents to come along for the fun. Outings run from September 10 through April 14.

Click on "2011-2012 AYBC Outings" above for a calendar of events that we have planned. Because each event is limited to 25 participants, please RSVP to the contact below to insure a place in the particular program.

A Big Thank-you to Gregg Beall of Wishbone Woodworking Inc. who donated the supplies and built  Bluebird Nest Boxes for our Young Birders Club Bluebird Rescue Team Project.

The Young Birders Club is currently working with local schools to document data for a Bluebird Monitoring Trail. Seven public and private schools in Collier County are participating in the project. Thank you for supporting the Audubon!

Games

Bird Colors Challenge: Test your memory for bird observations. A photo of a bird appears for 5 seconds and then disappears. You must then pick out the primary colors that you saw. Begin the game

The Migration Game: Try to help your flock migrate safely by learning how choices you make each and every day around your home, school, and neighborhood can affect the fate of migrating birds -- in both positive and negative ways. By the time you're done, you'll have the skills and knowledge to help birds thrive and survive around your home. Begin the game.

Jigsaw Puzzles: Put the bird puzzle pieces together to create the photograph of the bird. Move pieces around using your computer's mouse. Begin the game.

Words About Birds: Find birds and birding terms in this word search. A list of the hidden words is just below the puzzle. Begin the game.
