Spring City Elementary holds Wall of Disguise to encourage reading Grades one to three at Spring City Elementary School are participating in the Wall of Disguise reading incentive. Students are required to read 20 minutes each night for five days. They are sent home with a reading calendar for the week where they keep track of their reading. Teachers kept track of their student’s calendars for the month. During library time, at the end of the month, the students got to disguise a paper cutout. They have disguised a scarecrow, ghost, elf, snowman, groundhog and the Easter Bunny. Students who read five days a week, get one disguise for the week. If they read all seven days, they receive 2 disguises. Students who didn’t turn in any still get a cutout to color, but they don’t get to display them on the Wall of Disguise. This has been a fun incentive for the students and they enjoyed being creative.
Found a baby bird on the ground? Here’s what to do SALT LAKE CITY — It’s a beautiful spring day so you decide to go for a nice walk around your neighborhood. You are strolling along the sidewalk when suddenly you hear loud chirping near your feet. You look over and see a baby bird lying on the ground near a tree trunk. What should you do? It is not unusual to find a baby bird on the ground during this time of year. Many birds are hatching and often leave their nests before they are able to fly. Some may also be blown out of nests during spring thunderstorms. “Baby birds usually chirp and call from the nest, waiting for their parents to bring food to them — and sometimes, that results in them falling from their perch,” Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Migratory Game Bird Coordinator Blair Stringham said. The most common baby birds that people find are robins (which nest in trees) and swallows (which build their mud nests in eaves and on the sides of houses).
If you find a baby bird on the ground, there are a few things you should do:
Put it back in the nest if it doesn’t have feathers If the bird is very small and still featherless, you should place it back in its nest. If you can’t find the nest, put the bird on a branch safely out of reach of dogs and cats. “The baby will squawk, and its parents will find it,” Stringham said. Unlike with some other wildlife species, you don’t need to be concerned about leaving your scent on the bird. Most birds do not have a good sense of smell so if you pick a baby bird up, its parents won’t even know you’ve handled it. However, you should never take a baby bird home. Most birds are protected by state and federal laws, and it is against the law in Utah to Please see BIRDS, Page A2
Baby ducks should be left alone, unless they are trapped in a storm drain or somewhere else dangerous, like in a swimming pool. COURTESY PHOTO
