We’ve started our Printable Bird Coloring Pages to help you identify some of the birds you may find in your own backyard. Not all birds are found in every part of the United States so if you are interested in learning more go to google search and find which birds you can look for in your area. There are also lots of good books in the library that have pictures and information about birds. Bird watching is fun!
