Birds are most active in the early morning and late evening - Sunup and Sundown. Also the best time for photography and Settlers of Catan.



  1. Photography
Now lets get hardcore. We need to do some photomanipulation (messing with photos).
You need:
  • Photos you’ve taken, saved on a device
  • An editor. The built-in editor on Google Photos or Ios camera roll is fine, 
but https://pixlr.com/x/ is nice. If you have access to Lightroom or Photoshop and 
a gifted parent, now might be the time to bug them. 
  • Make sure your photos are in-focus and good to start with!! You can’t really ‘fix’ a poor picture.
OK, I’m not going to walk you through every program. So PLAY!! 
Here are some suggested edits:
(expert parents can only laugh at my example if they send better ones - 
you know who you are!!)

Bonus: Upgrade your camera! Old sunglasses, cellophane, clear coloured plastic… get creative!


  1. Math Challenge:

What are some methods I can use on this?
Picture? Table? Equation? Random Calculator Bashing?

What is my wild estimate?

OK, try it!!




  1. Science: Birds, Ecosystems and Restoration
What wildflowers do you know? Why should you not eat white camas?
