This week's field trip focuses on birds in or around a coniferous forest.
Begin this week's posting by describing the location of your coniferous forest observations and the microhabitats where you saw birds. Be sure to include the time of day and a brief description of the weather.
List the birds that you saw and indicate the microhabitat where each bird was seen.
Be sure to provide the complete name of each species that you observed. For example: American Crow, Pileated Woodpecker, European Starling, etc. Note that the names of birds are capitalized and that some names are hypenated (ex: Black-capped Chickadee).
Describe any interesting or unusual behaviors that you observed.
Also include a detailed description of at least one bird's behavior with particular emphasis on its interactions with other birds. How did the bird react to your presence in its environment?
