Last week I researched the Artic Tern in order to show my lad how to do a quickly research a topic. That we aren’t looking for indepth, but just to find out some basic information about a topic.
Yesterday I had him pick a topic by reading through the woodlands section of our history book. He choose the Raven.
Here is his report.
The intriguing Common Raven has accompanied people around the Northern
Hemisphere for centuries, following their wagons, sleds, sleighs, and
hunting parties in hopes of a quick meal. Ravens are among the smartest
of all birds, gaining a reputation for solving ever more complicated
problems invented by ever more creative scientists. These big, sooty
birds thrive among humans and in the back of beyond, stretching across
the sky on easy, flowing wingbeats and filling the empty spaces with an
echoing croak. (SOURCE) they are complete black even the beak legs and eyes

You can hear a raven’s voice and see where they live in the world.
