DINOSAUR WATCHING--A NEW WAY TO LOOK AT BIRDSJackson Audubon's DinoBird Kit for Teachers--All Grades Excite your students with the new knowledge that all birds are living dinosaurs! Jackson Audubon’s Dinobird Program and Kit provides a CD with script, model dinobirds, background materials and hands-on activities that will introduce students to ancient and living dinobirds. It also provides classroom activities to teach bird conservation and simple ways to make backyards and school yards healthy habitats for birds and prevent extinction of living dinosaurs, the birds. Since children of all ages are already hooked on dinosaurs, we think that dinosaur watching is a perfect introduction to getting children hooked on bird watching and bird conservation. Our birds are declining in all parts of our country and children need to be aware of their threatened, endangered or even extinct status and what they can do to help birds. HOW TO SCHEDULE THE KIT? |
 
The Jackson Audubon Society maintains approximately 25 Prothonotary Warbler boxes at Mayes Lake in LeFleur's Bluff State Park and 15 at Pearl River Wildlife Management and Refuge. The Prothonotary is the only warbler in the Eastern United States that nests in a cavity. The original boxes were built by prisoners at Parchman. Reese is building the newer boxes. On March 16, 2003, Reese & Louise Partridge, Skipper Anding, Barbara Qualls and I went to check boxes at the Reservoir and put up 2 new boxes.
