The Birds of LSC-CyFair Campus

What a great morning to have a walk around campus and do a little bird watching.  Jeff Mohamed, LSC-CyFair, first gave us a presentation showing pictures of birds we might see on campus.  Next, we walked around the campus lakes and to the Outdoor Learning Area.  With binoculars and cameras in hand, we identified nineteen different birds.  Look for the Great Egret that hangs out on the river steps in front of the cafeteria.

Bird Watching - Spring Migration at LSC-CyFair

To start the class, Tim Sebesta led us through a basic course in how to identify birds.  Check the shape of the beak, the bird's overall shape and where the bird is located to narrow down the myriad of choices in trying to identify a bird.  We also went through some bird calls to see how many we knew.  As a continuation to this classroom discussion, we will have an outdoor walk Wednesday morning to see some great locations on campus to bird watch.

Geocaching - Let's Go On A Treasure Hunt

After learning what Geocaching is, how the satellites work, and how to use our GPSr's, Cheryl LeJune led us on a walk around campus in search of hidden treasures.  Really, we just looked at some cool stuff while we learned how to geocache.  Geocaching is a great way to get outside and go for a walk, with a purpose.
