Sam and Sam examine a Monarch butterfly

Yesterday, CCBS students celebrated “Migration Celebration” with Biologist Jason Love and Ornithologist Marc Hopey as part of the Coweeta Long Term Ecological Research program. Our students participated in Monarch butterfly tagging and bird banding to help document and track migration paths of these animals.

They then had time for learning fun by playing animal charades, I-Spy and Migration Headache all of which reinforced the many variables that can negatively affect a successful trip for the migrators.

All in all it was another great day of hands-on learning!
