On these web pages you will find a guide to using PigeonWatch with your students or group, as well as activities to help get the most out of the project.

Many of our suggestions come from group leaders who have conducted PigeonWatch on their own or in programs associated with museums, science or nature centers, or youth groups.

For more comments and suggestions from our participants look in our newsletter, Pigeonscope. If you have any hints, ideas, or suggestions to share, please don’t hesitate to let us know -- see contact information below.
