Students Birdwatching
The Instituto Provincial de Idiomas from Ushuaia organized a birdwatching activity to the Reserva Natural Urbana Baha Encerrada. Students from the Instituto Provincial de Idiomas visited the Reserva Natural Urbana Bahia Encerrada last week. They were guided by people from the Museo del Fin del Mundo. Students watched a film about birds and then walked to the bay, carrying binoculars and a book guide in order to recognize the birds. Use the birds guide and the teachers guide. Identify the following pictures and complete the chart.
