Birds in Spring
• Some birds have been here all winter. In spring they begin to choose a spot to build a nest.
• Some birds return from warmer places. They come back to nest when there is a food supply.
• How have changes in land use affected where birds nest?• What kind of habitat is necessary for each kind of bird?• What happens if a special kind of habitat is destroyed?
