EXTRA CREDIT!

Tomorrow we start birds and we will soon be starting mammals. Since 5 week grades get mailed home soon, here is an opportunity to do something about your grade if you do not like it. REMEMBER, this grade does not reflect any bird watching or weekly stimuli you may have done. Here's your task: Select ONE New York State bird or mammal and write a short biography about it. Some examples may include: the Barred Owl, Cooper's Hawk, Blue Bird, Raccoon, White tailed deer, etc. It MUST be native to NY and cannot be domesticated like a horse or dog. Please include things like size, color, habitat, food preferences, reproduction habits (how many young will it have, etc), and behavior. Your paper should be between 250 and 500 words. Include a picture and DO NOT copy/paste from the internet. I will also accept powerpoints...if that's your thing. The animal diversity link and Wiki will help a lot for this project. This is due by 6 April.
