INCLUDED RESOURCES:

Discuss how optics can be useful for hunting, bird watching and wildlife

viewing:

Binoculars can help you effectively identify an animal (i.e., hen vs.

gobbler)

Binoculars allow one to see larger, clearer images of wildlife so that

creatures' shapes, colors, and markings can be recognized much more

easily.

Explain to the group that they are going to learn some basics about using

binoculars, learn about some of the animals found across North America, and

then apply their knowledge in a wildlife scavenger hunt.
