Bird Quiz--This site lets you test your knowledge of North American
bird identification, distribution in winter (from the Audubon Christmas
Bird Count) and summer (from the North American Breeding Bird Survey),
and song. Note that we use the term "song" loosely,
here, and that you might have to look pretty hard to see some of the photographed
bird species in North America!

Teachers
Tools
for Teachers--This website introduces
high school students to biological research methods with an emphasis in
ecotoxicology. The Countering Contamination: Data and DDE curriculum introduces
high school students to ecotoxicology and, more importantly, guides students
through the process by which scientists move from raw data to conclusions
about the impacts of contaminants on wild animals. Each lesson stimulates
students to first ask questions, and then to determine how to use data
to address those questions.
Educational
Science Notes--Educational handouts about bald eagles, dde, whooping
cranes, earthworms and canvasbacks.
Fact Sheets--summaries
of our work including various research projects, field station information,
and partner information.
