Join the Library Youth Services staff at the City of Santa Clara's Arbor Day/Earth Day Celebration on Friday, April 25 on the grounds of the Triton Museum.The Youth Services staff will be presenting information that will help children learn to identify and appreciate the different types of birds that live in our community. Families are encouraged to "Celebrate Urban Birds," with a national program that is sponsored by Cornell University. Have fun learning about birds at http://www.celebrateurbanbirds.org/ . Then spend 10 minutes outside, watching the birds in your neighborhood. Report your observations to "Celebrate Urban Birds." Your participation will help the scientists at Cornell as they continue to analyze the urban bird population in California and Santa Clara County.
Want to learn more about birds? Just bring your family to the Youth Services desk. We'll show you books about eagles, owls, falcons, hummingbirds and chickens. We'll also give you tips about great bird watching locations in Santa Clara County. There's only one question we can't answer: "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
