Мотивационный момент:

Воспитатель: Ребята, в какое время года можно услышать звонкое пение птиц? (Весной, летом). Правильно, а сейчас какое время года? (ответы детей)

Правильно, сейчас зима. Осенью мы с вами беседовали о перелётных птицах. Они на зиму улетают в тёплые края. А сейчас мы поговорим о птицах, которые остаются зимовать. Как называются эти птицы? (ответы детей) Каких зимующих птиц вы знаете?

 Дети: Воробей, ворона, сорока, синица, голубь, снегирь.  

К нам в гости должна прилететь птица, но сначала вы должны отгадать загадку, что это за птица?

Красногрудый, чернокрылый,

Любит зёрнышки клевать,

С первым снегом на рябине

Он появится опять.

Что это за птица? (снегирь)

Воспитатель: Правильно, это снегирь. Посмотрите вот и снегирь прилетел.

II. Основная часть 

Воспитатель: Снегирь получил своё название от слова снег, так как прилетает к нам в город с первым снегом, живёт всю зиму, а потом опять улетает в лес. Это очень красивая и спокойная птица. У неё красная грудка, чёрная маленькая голова, длинный хвост, крепкий и толстый клюв. Как вы думаете, чем питается снегири? (ответы детей) Правильно, снегири питаются семенами деревьев, семенами шишек, ягодами рябины.

У этой птицы голос очень слабый. Слышно только тихое посвистывание. Но оттенков у его песенки множество. Своим свистом они могут позвать друзей или предупредить об опасности.

Воспитатель: наш снегирь грустный, я его встретила утром, когда шла в детский сад и спросила его: «Снегирь, а почему ты такой грустный?» Он мне ответил, что у него нет друзей) Как мы можем ему помочь? (ответы детей)

Снегири очень дружные и живут всегда стайкой. Поэтому и наш снегирь хочет много друзей.

Сначала рассмотрим образец. Посмотрите на снегиря.

Из каких частей состоит птица? (ответы детей – туловище) Какой оно формы? (овальной) Какого цвета? (ответы детей)

Какая голова? (она круглая, маленькая и чёрная) Голова меньше, чем туловище. Находится впереди и немного сверху.

Что находится на голове? (глаза, клюв) Чем заканчивается туловище? (хвостом) Какой хвост? (длинный и чёрный)

Мы с вами рассмотрели снегиря. Теперь немного отдохнем.

Физкультминутка.

 -Вот на ветках, посмотри!

В красных майках снегири!

Распушили пёрышки,

Греются на солнышке.

Головой вертят.

Улететь хотят.

Воспитатель: ребята, мы сегодня, будем с вами рисовать, как настоящие художники, а теперь, я вам покажу как правильно рисовать птичку-снегиря.

Необходимо немного отступить вверх от ветки. И нарисовать овал, закрасить его. Рисую голову. Она меньше туловища, находится впереди и немного сверху. Рисую круг, закрашиваю, рисую клюв. С другой стороны рисую хвост. Он длинный и чёрный. Две ножки. На туловище рисую крыло овальной формы с чуть заострённым концом. Вот и готов снегирь. А теперь и вы приступайте к работе.

Воспитатель: Ребята, вы помогли нашему снегирю. Посмотрите, как он развеселился. Какая у него большая и дружная семья. Снегирь говорит вам спасибо!

Is it a plane? Just birds actually, migrating ones. They’re gradually returning from their winter cabins flying in V and 1 formations. This year, we were only halfway through winter when the first ones arrived, but the German Nature Conservation Society (NABU) said this was «not unusual» and happened last year too. 90003 90002 90005 Why are some migratory birds returning so early? 90006 90003 90002 We hate to disappoint you: It does not mean that spring is almost just around the corner.The reason for the early return is that the hatchery is first-come-first-served, so nobody wants to get there late, and if winter comes back the cranes can move to warmer climes in a few days. 90003 90002 However, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology have also found that long-distance migrations are going out of fashion. As birds become more comfortable with the changing climate, they shorten their travel distance and adapt their destinations. 90003 90002 90013 Read more: 90014 China builds first ‘bird airport’ to attract feathered friends 90003 90016 90002 They have conducted a large-scale experiment over the years with more than 3000 Eurasian blackcaps.The scientists ‘study has shown that the genetically determined migratory urge of birds or the so-called migratory restlessness changes and that migratory birds first travel shorter distances within a few generations and later no longer migrate at all. 90003 90002 Nevertheless, the flight routes of migratory birds are still well travelled. In Germany alone there are about 280 different species of migratory birds. It is estimated that there are 50 billion animals worldwide every year, five billion of them between Europe and Africa.90003 90002 Frequent flyers often cross entire continents on their way from their breeding grounds to their food-rich winter quarters. Striped geese, for example, leave their wintering grounds in India in spring and fly north to breed in Central Asia. On their journey, they have to cross the Himalayas at an altitude of over 7000 metres. And the Alpine Swift has extraordinary endurance: the migratory bird can fly almost continuously for up to seven months — even while sleeping. 90003 90002 90013 Read more: Millions of migratory birds in Germany draw nature lovers 90014 90003 90002 90005 So why do migratory birds put the strain on themselves? 90006 90003 90002 It’s quite simple: it’s primarily the food supply that determines the birds ‘migration, not the temperature.Who likes to look for a few insects and seeds in ice and snow with little promise of success? 90003 90002 Only the resident birds remain where they are. Even in winter. Because they are grain eaters and carnivores, and are not necessarily dependent on insects. Typical species in Germany are the blue tit, the blackbird, the great tit and the house sparrow. 90003 90002 The white stork, which winters in Central Africa, is one of the 80 species of long-distance migrators. It continues to find insects there that do not exist in Germany in winter.Their departure and arrival times often differ by only a few days in successive years. 90003 90002 90013 Read more: 90014 Giant South American birds cause chaos in northern Germany 90003 90041 90002 90005 And why not just stay in the warm south? 90006 90003 90002 The warm south sometimes also means a hot, dry summer. Which — in terms of food supply — is not necessarily beneficial. This is why birds return north in spring to take advantage of the abundant food supply to raise their young.In addition, migratory birds have to share their winter habitats with native bird species, including what is on the table. 90003 90002 The cranes, recognizable for their loud trumpets, can hardly wait to return, staying to breed in Germany or just passing through en route to Scandinavia. 90003 90002 90005 Can migratory birds get lost? 90006 90003 90002 No — not really. Most have a phenomenal sense of direction. 90003 90002 And yet «migrating birds sometimes do get lost,» writes William Young, bird-watcher and author of «The Fascination of Birds: From the Albatross to the Yellowthroat.»90003 90002 No one is sure why exactly this happens. Some of these lost birds might have something wrong with their internal sense of navigation. Some of them might get thrown off-course by unusual weather. Many are migrating for the first time. For whatever reason, it does happen. 90003 90060 90002 But still, we can only dream of having the sense of orientation of most migratory birds, which effectively have three compasses: the sun, the stars, and the magnetic field. 90003 90002 Unlike us, these birds can see the direction of sunlight, so they know where the sun is even on cloudy days.Birds migrating at night, on the other hand, orient themselves by the position of the stars. 90003 90002 Crucially, they are also able to perceive the magnetic field lines of the earth. Migratory birds can recognize whether they are flying towards the poles or the equators. 90003 90002 This makes the orientation and navigation of migratory birds a complex interplay of many factors. On the one hand, innate mechanisms play a role, but also the many years of experience of birds. For example, the first migration of young birds is still exclusively controlled by the genetic programme.90003 90002 Later, more and more experience will be gained over the years and migratory movements. This increases the probability of reaching the wintering grounds or hatchery safely and more quickly, according to the German Wildlife Foundation. 90003 90071 90002 90005 Why the formation flight? 90006 90003 90002 Not all birds fly in formation or in shoals. The cuckoo, for example, flies solo. Others prefer to set off together in large flocks, for example the starlings and swallows.Geese, pelicans, storks and other larger migratory birds fly in a straight line, a chain, or the so-called V-Formation, also called wedge-formation. 90003 90002 The reason for this is simple: aerodynamics. The birds want to save energy. The leading bird at the top sometimes has the most strenuous job, while the rest of the group benefits from the slipstream of its leader. But this pole position would be too strenuous in the long run. That’s why there are regular changes at the top. 90003 90002 Millions of migratory birds in Germany draw nature lovers 90003 90002 90005 Last but not least: Why the noise? 90006 90003 90002 Since the migratory bird travel group is not sitting together in the car or train, it has to make sure that everyone stays together.And since physical contact is difficult during the flight, there is chattering and cawing. But not all migratory birds make such a racket. 90003 90002 Cranes and geese in particular coordinate their travels so that the flock retains its shape and no member gets lost. 90003 90090 90091 90092 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The long-distance champion 90096 90002 Meet the bar-tailed godwit: Breeding primarily on Arctic coasts, and the Scandinavian and Siberian tundra, this wading species spends the winter in Australia and New Zealand .In 2007, a tagged bird was recorded as having flown 11,600 kilometers (7200 miles), from Western Alaska to New Zealand, in a single nine-day stretch. That probably makes it the record-holder for non-stop flight. 90003 90099 90091 90101 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The little guy 90096 90002 Named for the bright red plumage under its beak, the ruby-throated hummingbird can grow up to 9 centimeters (3.5 inches) and weigh as little as 3 grams.But do not let the bird’s small stature fool you, it still gets around. During migration, some specimens fly 900 miles non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico to their breeding grounds in the Eastern United States. 90003 90099 90091 90110 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The officer 90096 90002 Belonging to the stork species, the greater adjutant owes its name to its gait — which is said to resemble that of a military officer. But the adjutant does not command much land anymore.It’s listed as endangered, and is only found in two breeding colonies in India and Cambodia. Outside of the breeding season, it visits neighboring countries across Southeast Asia. 90003 90099 90091 90119 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 ‘The Bird’ 90096 90002 An invasion of sooty shearwater birds in California in тисячі дев’ятсот шістьдесят одна was the inspiration for Hitchcock’s famous thriller «The Birds,» which came out two years later. In real life, the birds are more awe-inspiring than scary.Crossing the Pacific and Atlantic, up coasts in spring and down in autumn, they clock up to 14,000-kilometer journeys. Oh, and they can also dive down to more than 60 meters. 90003 90099 90091 90128 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The sewing machine 90096 90002 Dunlins are small waders, and breed in Arctic regions. While those from Northern Europe and Asia fly as far as Africa for the winter break, their Alaskan and Canadian counterparts prefer the much closer North American coasts.Their characteristic mechanical way of picking at food has earned them their nickname. 90003 90099 90091 90137 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The snowbird 90096 90002 Arctic terns have developed the ultimate strategy to evade winter: They breed in the Arctic during the northern summer, then travel to the shores of Antarctica, racking up 80,000 kilometers of travel or more per year in the process. That means they see two summers. But winters? Zero.Every year. 90003 90099 90091 90146 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The holy bird 90096 90002 Critically endangered, the northern bald ibis is now only found in southern Morocco. It used to migrate across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Revered by the ancient Egyptians and said to have been the first bird to be released from Noah’s Ark, Turkish pilgrims also looked to them for guidance on their way to Mecca. Spiritual appreciation has not helped stem its decline.90003 90099 90091 90155 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The all-rounder 90096 90002 The northern wheatear has nothing to do with wheat or ears but it does make one of the longest migrations of any small bird. It passes over oceans, snow and desert during its spring journey from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Northern Hemisphere. There, the birds occupy an area stretching from Central Asia to Europe and Alaska. Trackers have shown they can travel 290 kilometers a day on average.90003 90099 90091 90164 90093 Migratory birds: The real long-distance champions 90094 90095 The commoner 90096 90002 The common crane is a common appearance in the north of Europe and Asia, where it breeds typically in moors and wetlands.

Every year, hunters kill many millions of migratory birds across the Mediterranean — for food or money, or, most controversially, sport.90003 90002 Author: Ranty Islam, Jennifer Collins 90003 90099 90192 90193 .90000 Bird Migration, Sample of Reports 90001 90002 5 pages, 2039 words 90003 90004 BIRD MIGRATION 90005 90002 Although bird migrations have been observed for thousands of years, it was not until the early nineteenth century that migration was accepted as an explanation for the winter disappearance of birds from northern climes (Lincoln 1979). 90003 90002 Bird migration has been studied using a variety of techniques, of which ringing is the oldest. Color marking, use of radar, satellite tracking, and stable Hydrogen and Strontium isotopes are some of the other techniques being used today to study the migration of birds (Font et al.2007). 90003 90002 To identify migration intensity, one contemporary approach makes use of upward pointing microphones to record the contact calls of overflying flocks; these calls are then analyzed in a laboratory to measure time, frequency, and species (Farnsworth et al. 2004). 90003 90002 What is migration? Migration refers to directed, regular, or systematic movement of a group of objects, organisms, people, or animals. There are two type of migration such as immigration and emigration.Bird migration is one of the most fascinating views for bird watchers and it is refers to magnificent regular journeys to and from a given area undertaken by all or part of a bird population. The bird migration happens to temperate reagent birds but it also occurs in tropic birds. It is also known as nomadism, invasion, dispersal or irruption. Since migration takes a lot of time and energy, they must have really good explanations to do so. These also will increase the chance of survive and reproduce again so that they not become extinct.90003 90002 4 pages, 1759 words 90003 90004 The Term Paper on Crane migrations 90005 90002 … shows us how people can help birds find their migration patterns, Text 2 shows us how birds can help people find inspiration. Their … purpose is to inform the reader about the new crane migration project in central Wisconsin. Wisconsin is known to be a … focus on these birds helps the reader understand … 90003 90002 Migration is marked by its annual seasonality and bird movements include those made in response to changes in food availability, habitat or weather.Instead of difficulties to find foods and weather changes such as cold temperature, it’s been shown that at least in some birds there are also indicator such as environmental cue. The changes in day length cause pituitary gland (an endocrine gland that controls the release of hormonal stimuli) in the birds ‘bodies to produce hormones that profound changes inside the birds, changes that prepare them for the flight south. As days grow shorter in the fall, fat accumulates under the skin and this will supplies energy needed for those coming days when the birds flying than they will eat during occasional rests.This shows the birds are already prepared with vary of probability. 90003 90002 Not all birds are long-distance migratory birds, some are short-distance migratory, some are residents and some are partial migratory. There are four types of residents such as permanent resident, summer resident, winter resident and transient. Permanent resident are non-migrating birds such as House Sparrows who remain in their home area all year round. Summer residents are migratory birds such as Purple Martins who arrive in our Northern in the spring, nest during summer and return south to wintering grounds in the fall.Winter residents are migratory birds who have come to south for the winter such as White-throated Sparrows, who are summer resident in much of Canada, are winter residents in much of the U.S. 90003 90002 Birds fly at varying altitudes during migration. In some species, the population at higher latitudes tends to be migratory and will often winter at lower latitude. The migrating birds bypass the latitudes where other populations may be sedentary, where suitable wintering habitats may already be occupied.This is known as «leap-frog migration». Within a population, there can also be different patterns of timing and migration based on the age groups and sex. These occur to some species such as Chaffinches. Only the female Chaffinches in Scandinavia migrate, while the males staying resident. This has given rise to the latter’s specific name of coelebs, a bachelor. 90003 90002 Besides that, there also an expedition to Mt. Everest found skeletons of Pintail and Black-tailed Godwit at 5000 m (16,400 ft) on the Khumbu Glacier.Bar-headed Geese have been seen flying over the highest peaks of the Himalayas above 8000 m (29000 ft) even when low passes of 3000 m (10000 ft) were nearby. Seabirds fly low over water but gain altitude when crossing land and the reverse pattern is seen in landbirds. However, most bird migration is in the range of 150 m (500 ft) to 600 m (2000 ft). 90003 90002 1 page, 459 words 90003 90004 The Essay on Changing face of Indian villages 90005 90002 India is a land of villages. It is said that real India lives in villages.About seventy per cent of its population lives in villages. India is undergoing revolutionary changes. Its villages are not untouched by those changes. The changes are reflected in every walk of life. These changes have been brought by various agents. These include science, technology, and spread of education, advent of … 90003 90002 Bird-hit aviation records from the United States show most collisions occur below 600 m (2000 ft) and almost none above 1800 m (6000 ft). 90003 90002 In contrast, some bird species migrate by swimming such as penguin.These routes can cover over 1000 km. Blue Grouse Dendragapus obscurus perform altitudinal migration mostly by walking. Emus in Australia have been observed to undertake long-distance movements on foot during droughts. 90003 90002 Migration often is concentrated along narrow belts that are well-established as traditional routes known as flyways. . There are four major flyways in North America: the Pacific, Central, Mississippi and Atlantic Flyway. The flyways are actually shaped by geographical, ecological, and even meteorological factors.It is typically follow mountain ranges or coastlines, and may have the advantage of updrafts and other wind patterns, or avoid geographical barriers, such as large stretches of open water. The specific routes may be genetically programmed or learned from the experiences. Some research state that the birds are guided by innate behaviors including hormonal signals that enable them to know when to depart and that orient them toward a specific location over long distances. 90003 90002 However, they also find their way to their destination in vary different ways such as they can navigate by the sun or the stars.An internal clock mechanism enables birds to use the sun as a point of orientation, determining the angle of the sun above the horizon. Nocturnal migrants may also use the stars to get their bearings. They have very good vision and watch for landmarks such as mountains and rivers. The birds like petrels and pigeons can also use their sense of smell but perhaps the most interesting navigation device are tiny grains of mineral called magnetite which is found just above their nostrils and which scientists think may act like compass, telling them which way to go.Many birds have been demonstrated to have a «compass sense;» i.e., they are able to fly in a particular constant direction, regardless of their release point. 90003 90002 2 pages, 590 words 90003 90004 The Essay on Bird Species Generalist And Specialist 90005 90002 Bird Species, Generalist and Specialist Double Crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) Double Crested Cormorant is a member of the cormorant family of seabirds. Assuming that generalist / opportunistic species are widespread and more or less uniformly distributed, Double Crested Cormorant can hardly be categorized as generalist (Generalist an organism able to utilize many food sources, and… 90003 90002 Despite the genetic and environmental factors that guide them along specific routes, migrating birds can still lose their way. In a phenomenon known as the «spring overshoot,» birds returning to their breeding areas overshoot their destination and end up further north than intended. «Drift migrations» of birds blown off course by the wind can result in «falls» of large numbers of migrants at coastal sites. The timing and response of migration are in large part genetically controlled.In contrast, the ability of migratory birds to navigate and orient themselves during migration is a much more complex phenomenon that may include both endogenous (internal) programs as well as learned behavior (Helm and Gwinner 2006). 90003 90002 Bird species have diverse modes of migration. The varied modes and patterns of bird migration may be as adaptations. In fact, migration itself has conferred an advantage to only certain bird species, while not evolving in other species that remain resident, or sedentary, year-round.Whether a particular species migrates depends on a number of factors. The climate of the breeding area is important, as few species can cope with the harsh winters of inland Canada or northern Eurasia. The nature of the staple food is also significant. Most specialist insect eaters that breed outside the tropics are long-distance migrants, and have little choice but to head south in winter. 90003 90002 The most common pattern involves flying north in the spring to breed in the temperate as such as Arctic summer and returning in the fall to wintering grounds in warmer regions to the south.The longer days of the northern summer provide greater opportunities for reproduce and raise their young. Long summer days in the north produce an abundance of insects and plants for birds and their young to eat. The extended daylight hours allow diurnal birds to produce larger clutches of eggs than those of related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics year round. As the days shorten in autumn, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply varies little with the season.These advantages are offset the high stress, physical effort costs, and other risks of the migration such as predation (high and unpredictable). 90003 90002 3 pages, тисяча сорок три words 90003 90004 The Essay on Protection Of Endangered Species 90005 90002 Out of all the species that have ever existed since the beginning of time, 98% of them are extinct (Facts). There are an estimated 5-10 million species that exist currently and only 1.5 million have been identified (Sherry, 2). Scientists classify species into six different groups: plants, animals, insects, algae, fungi, and microorganisms (Todays Situation).In the tropical rainforest alone, most … 90003 90002 In many tropics regions have wet and dry season and there is little variation in the length of day throughout the year, and it is always warm enough for an adequate food supply. Apart from the seasonal movements of northern hemisphere wintering species, most species are in the broadest sense resident. However many species undergo movements of varying distances depending on the rainfall. Apart from the seasonal movements of Northern Hemisphere wintering species, most species are in the broadest sense resident.The Woodland Kingfisher migrates into the equatorial zone during the dry season. There are also notably cuckoos, which are pure long-distance migrants within the tropics. An example is the Lesser Cuckoo, which breeds in India and spends the non-breeding season in Africa. 90003 90002 The migratory routes of various large birds and many other birds of prey take advantage of ecological features like thermal columns to power their flight. Some large broad-winged birds rely on thermal columns of rising hot air to enable them to glide hover in the air.These include many birds of prey, such as vultures, eagles, and buzzards, as well as storks. Migratory species in these groups have great difficulty crossing large bodies of water, since thermals form over land only. The Mediterranean and other seas therefore present a major obstacle to soaring birds, which are forced to cross at the narrowest points. Massive numbers of large raptors and storks pass through areas such as Gibraltar, Falsterbo, and the Bosphorus at migration times. 90003 90004 Migrations may be diurnal (during the day) or nocturnal (at night).90005 90002 By following established routes, some species risk predation during periods of peak migration. Many of the smaller insectivorous birds, including the warblers, hummingbirds, and flycatchers, are nocturnal migrants. By migrating at night, they minimize the risk of predation, and avoid the overheating that could result from the energy expended to fly such long distances. Those smaller species that migrate during the day tend to be those making movements that are relatively short and weather-driven, like the larks and finches, or that can feed on the wing, like swallows and swifts.90003 90002 1 page, 428 words 90003 90004 The Essay on Evolution Of Species 90005 90002 I’m sitting down at a computer that has very vast capabilities. It is capable of almost any application, but it being only the size of my history textbook, leaves it fragile and vulnerable. With a few light slams, or the pass of a powerful magnet, it’s very existence could be destroyed. Ancient times suggest not only survival of the fittest, but also survival of the smartest. Long ago the … 90003 90002 To make the migration success and safe they have to adapt with many things such as the birds need to alter their metabolism in order to meet the demands of migration.The storage of energy through the accumulation of fat and the control of sleep in nocturnal migrants require special physiological adaptations. In addition, the feathers of a bird suffer from wear-and-tear and require to be molted. The timing of this molt usually once a year but sometimes twice, it is varies with some species molting prior to moving to their winter grounds and others molting prior to returning to their breeding grounds. Apart from physiological adaptations, migration sometimes requires behavioral changes such as flying in flocks to reduce the energy used in migration or the risk of predation.Many large birds fly in a V-formation, which helps individuals save 12-20% of the energy they would need to fly alone. Red Knots Calidris canutus and Dunlins Calidris alpina were found in radar studies to fly 5 km per hour faster in flocks than when they were flying alone. 90003 90002 Human activities have threatened many migratory bird species. The distances involved in bird migration mean that they often cross political boundaries of countries and conservation measures require international cooperation.The concentration of birds during migration can put species at risk. Some spectacular migrants have already gone extinct, the most notable being the Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius). 90003 90002 During migration the flocks were a mile (1.6 km) wide and 300 miles (500 km) long, taking several days to pass and containing up to a billion birds. Habitat destruction by land use changes is the biggest threat, and shallow wetlands that are stopover and wintering sites for migratory birds are particularly threatened by draining and reclamation for human use.Several international treaties have been signed to protect migratory species including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 of the US and the African-Eurasian Migratory Water Bird Agreement. 90003 .
