The Classroom Naturalist: Hoarders Prepare for Winter
http://classroomnaturalist.blogspot.com/2007/11/hoarders-prepare-for-winter.html
Thursday, November 8, 2007. Hoarders Prepare for Winter. Most people have seen squirrels hoarding acorns and other nuts as winter approaches. But did you know that many birds are also hoarders? Nuthatches aren't the only birds that hoard supplies. Blue Jays, chickadees, and Tufted Titmice are all saving seeds, too. Blue Jays will stash several thousand acorns, burying each one within its territory. Posted by WILD Jersey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Debbie Hadley, WILD Jersey. Subscribe in a reader.

http://classroomnaturalist.blogspot.com/2007/10/cricket-invasion.html
Sunday, October 21, 2007. Around this time every year, you probably notice black or brown crickets sneaking into your home and school. Sometimes, your only clue that crickets are in your house is the incessant chirping from the basement. A few days later, you find cricket carcasses in corners and under boxes. So what drives these insects into buildings each fall? Field crickets of the Genus Gryllus. Photograph - Joseph Berger, Bugwood.org. Posted by WILD Jersey. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

At a place called "Challenger Deep," the ocean is 7 miles deep! This spot was discovered in 1951 by a British ship called Challenger II. And that's why the site is called "Challenger Deep."

The Classroom Naturalist: Why Birds Fly in "V" Formation
http://classroomnaturalist.blogspot.com/2007/10/why-birds-fly-in-v-formation.html
Monday, October 15, 2007. Why Birds Fly in "V" Formation. Scientists believe the "v" formation gives large birds an aerodynamic advantage that helps them conserve energy. French researchers measured the heart rates of great white pelicans, and found their heart rates slowed when flying in this formation. They were also able to glide more often. The birds can flap their wings in unison, and draft behind one another, much like cyclists do in the Tour de France. Posted by WILD Jersey. Subscribe in a reader.
