This summer, our research project was to learn about a database from Carol Lushbough, who works at USD. We also went into the field and collected bird data and added it to a database we created. This website chronicles that data.

"Raptors in the City, the Peregrine Falcon, a conservation success story" surveys the decline and rescue of the peregrine falcon from the brink of extinction. The site includes interview with many of the different professionals and volunteers involved in peregrine conservation. The site designers document their visit to a raptor rehabilitation facility and include a video of a falcon eating and an audio file of a falcon cry that they themselves recorded. Visitors are encouraged to test their knowledge with the interactive quiz and to share their peregrine sitings. The designers hope the site will encourage children to help preserve peregrine and other endangered species.

The Jingxin Wetland, located at the border of China, Russia and Korea, is the annual stopping place for 199 kinds of migratory birds between the middle of March and beginning of April. The birds stop here for a month to recuperate before flying along the eastern coast and returning to their homeland in northern Siberia. The purpose of this research is to do the following:
1.Through various avenues, the team members learn about Hunchun Jingxin Wetland and its migratory birds, as well as the purpose of the wetland and its importance in the world. The project allows the team members to develop their skills in data collection and analysis.
2.After the team members participated in field works at Jingxin Wetland, they learned that the wetland is quickly disappearing while the sand dunes are increasing. As the result, the numbers and species of migratory birds are rapidly decreasing. This encouraged the team members to investigate the reasons that the wetlands are taken over by the sand dunes. In the process, the team members also recognize the fact that the fate of the migratory birds is crucially linked to the future of the wetland, and that slowing down the process of wetland desertification is an urgent matter. This project promotes the team members’ understanding of the environment, cultivates their analytical skill and problem-solving skill that are applicable to real life situations.
3.Through the experiment of planting wild roses in the classroom using sand from Jingxin’s sand dunes that simulates growing this plant on the actual sand dunes, the team members consider the possibility of planting the roses, the only national level protected plants in the Jingxin area, on the sand dunes. Coming up with ideas for the protection of the wetland and controlling the sand dunes enable the team members to cooperate with others, experiment with their own hands and cultivate the spirit of investigation.
4.Through reporting findings about the wetland and advocating its protection in the classroom, school and community, and submitting research results and proposals to the Department of Environmental Protection, the team members urge the government to pay attention to the seriousness of the wetland’s desertification and call for everyone in the community to act upon it and protect our homeland—Jingxin Wetlands, so the migratory birds will once again happily reside here. In this process, the team members learn to carry out their plans in real life and cultivate the ability to communicate and express themselves clearly and persuasively.

Our purpose is to provide information about wild birds commonly seen in New England. We hope our web site will help educate both people who live in New England and those who visit the area. Many of the birds included in our site are found in other areas of the country as well as in New England. We hope our website will stimulate an overall interest in wild birds, birdwatching (or birding), bird habits and needs. Finally, we hope this process will heighten awareness of the importance of the protection of varied habitats, not only for the benefit of birds, but for the benefit of wildlife generally.

In Japan we have sparrows and swallows which live near our life, for example they build nests on or in our houses.They are very familiar wild birds to us, so we can find them in our town easily.
There are various kinds of sparrows and swallows. They live in different places, have different pattern of movements, make their own nests, and eat different foods.
However, we don't know about them in detail, so we are going to observe
them.
We'd like to introduce our observation about their modes of life with some photoes to all of you in the world, adding a few comments or opinions our friends and neighbors talk about. We'd like many people in the world to deepen your knowledge about sparrows and swallows through Think Quest.
