Kids Welcome Birds Back With Precious Postcards | Audubon

Every spring, staple species like Baltimore Orioles, and rarer birds like the Golden-Winged Warbler, shuttle between Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, a protected area of old-growth rainforest where many birds overwinter, and the woods and prairies of Wisconsin. This spring, the Madison Audubon Society, Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, and Osa Conservation collaborated on the first annual Wings to Wisconsin postcard campaign to celebrate the birds’ migration—and get students interested in their local wildlife. The enthusiastic response—more than 70 hand-drawn postcards came in—showed dozens of bird species, some romping though key Wisconsin habitats and others wintering in their tropical realms.

The lesson plan really expanded the children's understanding AND the birds had a great welcome! I think we can leave some "packages" for the birds in the form of home made bird feeders.
