Teachers will work in small groups to observe bird nests found in the presenter's yard. Groups will design a bird community, using the nests as a starting point, to illustrate resource partitioning while applying ecological concepts of habitat and realized niches. Groups will share their bird community designs and will evaluate the designs for maintaining biodiversity and a healthy ecosystem.
