Bird Buffet: Berries, Nuts and Seeds

October 17, 2021 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am PDT

What we’ll be doing:

Plants are producing tasty food for birds and small mammals this time of year on the California coast. Flowers turn to fruits which hold nuts and seeds. These become nutritious meals for hungry animals. 

What tasty morsels can you find in your nearby nature?

Let’s look for berries, nuts, fruits, and seeds outdoors, and bring them on Sunday.
Some examples:
  • acorns
  • cones (pine, birch, cypress)
  • walnuts, other nuts
  • berries (blackberries, privet, coffeeberry),
  • fruits (loquats, guavas, apples),
  • seedpods and flower seed heads (like thistle, sunflowers, cosmos).
 
We will practice ways to incorporate them in our journals.

What to bring:

Go out into your nearby nature and look for any fruit, nuts and seeds.
  • Bring 1 or 2 samples of fruits, nuts, seeds. Or photograph them if you cannot collect. Capture how it grows on the stem too!
  • Your journal/sketchbook
  • writing tools (pen or pencil, colored pencils or watercolors)
  • Your curiosity!

When

Start at 9:30 am- end at 11:30am Pacific Time. Schedule:

  • Start with an introduction and demo of a topic
  • We log off the computer to nature journal outside in our own nearby nature,
  • Return to Zoom for sharing our discoveries and journal pages. ***This is THE BEST part- not to miss!!
