amazing job at presenting and sharing their information. If you get the chance,
please stop by the counter area in front of the LS library. The Cardinals’
fabulous creations are displayed there for all to enjoy.
The
Hummingbird
by Samuel Anyan
1)
“It is the only bird that can fly backwards.”
2)
“Hummingbirds lay 2 eggs.”
3)
“The smallest hummingbird is the Bee Hummingbird.”
4)
It lives “...in the forest, the mountains, the desert, or the wetlands.”
5)
It eats “...small insects, spiders, and nectar.”
This
was Samuel’s choice of bird to research because “It has a long beak and makes a
humming sound with its wings.”
The
Blue Jay
by Tori Jackson
1)
“Eggs are blue or light brown with brown spots”
2)
“Mainly blue feathers with white chest”
3)
“Noisy, bold and aggressive”
4)
It lives “in nests in trees near US”
5)
It eats “nuts, seeds, berries, and sometimes eggs.”
Tori
choose this bird for her research “because it’s pretty!”
The
Hummingbird
by Radha Airan-Javia
1)
“Hummingbirds flap their wings so fast that it makes a humming sound!”
2)
“Hummingbirds can float in the air and can fly up, down, left, right, backwards
and upside down!”
3)
“Hummingbirds’ hearts beat 21 times in one second! That means 1,260 times in
one minute. (Human hearts can only beat 200 times a minute!)”
4)
It lives in “Western Hemisphere.”
5)
It eats “nectar, tree sap, insects & pollen. They can lick their food 13
times a second!”
This
was Radha’s selection ”because they are cool, because they can float in the air
and they can fly upside down!”
The

1) They dance with their wings up.
2) Female and males sit on eggs.
3) It is hard for them to walk on land.
