Today we learned about niches in ecosystems. An animal's niche is like its job in the ecosystem. We watched two different sites to talk about niches.
Big Cat Diary: These animals live in the grasslands of Africa. Which animals are predators? Which are prey? How are the predators different from one another?
Cornell Feeder Cam: Here you can observe birds at a feeder in real time. What birds do you observe? How do they have different niches?
Here is a video showing two ruffed grouses visiting the feeder. The ruffed grouse is the state bird of Pennsylvania.
