What's Counting Birds About

Publisher Summary

Everyday kids learn how they can help protect bird species, near and far, with the award-winning book Counting Birds–the real-life story behind the first annual bird count. What can you do to help endangered animals and make a positive change in our environment? Get counting! Counting Birds is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces kids to the idea of bird counts and bird watches. Along the way, they will learn about Frank Chapman, an ornithologist who wanted to see the end of the traditional Christmas bird hunt, an event in which people would shoot as many birds as possible on Christmas. Chapman, using his magazine Bird-Lore to promote the idea of counting birds, founded the first annual bird count. More than a century after the first bird count, bird counting helps professional researchers collect data, share expertise, and spread valuable information to help all kinds of birds around the world, from condors to hawks to kestrels and more. Counting Birds introduces kids to a whole feathered world that will fascinate and inspire them to get involved in conservation and become citizen scientists. ​2019 Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students: K-12 (National Science Teachers Association and Children’s Book Council)2019 Best STEM Book for K-12 Students (National Science Teachers Association and the Children’s Book Council)Winner of the 2019 Riverby Award (The John Burroughs Association)Recipient of the 2019 Green Earth Book Award Honor (The Nature Generation)
