STrEaM Academy is going to the birds. Or, the birds are coming for us?! Rapids students have teamed up with Youth Birding Alaska (https://www.youthbirdingalaska.com/stream) and UAA to get involved with birding, birding habitats, migration patterns and exploring the parkland community around our school. We currently have three feeding stations on the Wayland Baptist University campus equipped with game cameras. Pictures and data from the cameras are being uploaded to our website and our Birding Facebook page. Students are researching birds, building bird houses and bringing their findings to community members. 
Seventh grade students and Mr. Kluever are spearheading the birding project. Students are being trained on how to scientifically draw birds and animals of our parklands with efforts leading to both field guides and interpretive signs for our own Muldoon Park just north of campus. Look for additional information coming soon through our STrEaM Facebook page and webpage. We are now officially associated with Youth Birding Alaska!
Love the feeder! If students have a slow moment, they can see up to five birds a minute at the feeder just outside my class window.
