their results, develop plans to save water in their schools and have an
opportunity to present their findings and conservation plans to city
officials during EE Week, April 11-17. Participating schools will also be eligible
for grant funds to implement student-designed school water conservation projects
 during the 2010-2011 school year.

producing electricity from coal and other thermoelectric sources?

The water-energy connection is complex, but it provides an excellent
opportunity to engage students in learning about the interrelatedness
of ecological and environmental concerns.

PollinatorLive: A Distance Learning Adventure will provide a series of free webinars
in partnership with the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) for teachers,
administrators and anyone interested in pollinators, gardening and citizen science
opportunities. The March 24 webinar will focus on how to fund, plan, design, maintain
and use a schoolyard garden. On April 13, participants will learn about how to meet
science education standards by studying pollinators and bees in the field and classroom.

A message from NYSERDA:

At 8:30 p.m., local time, on March 27, hundreds of millions of people around the globe are expected to turn out their lights to observe Earth Hour. The event is a global initiative begun by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) three years ago to recognize the need for action on climate change.  This year, 1,100 cities in 100 countries are participating. Lights will go off in some iconic landmarks in major cities. The Tokyo Tower and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin are among landmarks that will go dark for the first time this year, joining familiar U.S. sites, such as the Empire State Building, Mount Rushmore and the Golden Gate Bridge.

An online toolkit at the Earth Hour web site offers public service announcements, templates for local newsletters and other promotion helps, and classroom lesson plans. To see a fascinating video, "Lights at Night," from the National Academy of Sciences, click on the link below.

NestWatch Helps Study Climate Change Impact
Citizen scientists play a vital role by gathering nesting data

Eastern Bluebirds by Cecelia
Worley ? Cornell Lab of
Ornithology

Ithaca, NY?Collecting information about nesting birds in North
America is what the NestWatch
<http://www.allaboutbirds.org/NetCommunity/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.nestwatch.org&srcid=18752&srctid=1&erid=2467628>
project at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is all about?and the new
season is just getting underway. Participants submit data about which
kinds of birds are nesting, the number of eggs laid, dates eggs were
laid, and the numbers of chicks hatched and fledged.

?Collecting this information across the continent over long periods
of time is one of the best ways we have to detect widespread changes in
bird breeding biology,? says Laura Burkholder, the project leader for
NestWatch. ?Gathering this information takes on new urgency in light
of the State of the Birds 2010 Climate Change Report
<http://www.allaboutbirds.org/NetCommunity/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.stateofthebirds.org&srcid=18752&srctid=1&erid=2467628>just
released by the Department of the Interior earlier this month.?

?Nesting birds are vulnerable to climate change. Data show some
species, like the Tree Swallow, are laying their eggs more than a week
earlier than they did just a few decades ago,? says Burkholder.
?That could spell big trouble if hatch dates get out of sync with
the availability of food.?

NestWatch Reports
First Egg Data 1997-2009

Based on NestWatch data from 1997 to 2009, the chart shown here for the
Eastern Bluebird suggests that the first eggs are being laid sooner.
More long-term data are needed to clarify the impacts of environmental
change and human land use on breeding birds.

In addition to its scientific value, NestWatch is fun, free, and open
to all. Participation is a great way to connect with nature.
Kindergarten students in one New York classroom collected information
about bluebirds nesting on school grounds. ?This was so exciting for
the children and for me too,? said teacher Ruth Taylor. ?They named
the male Skyboy and the female Bluebell. First we had two eggs and then
four eggs in the nest. What a marvelous experience for all of us to
enjoy and learn!"
The always-popular NestCams are also back in action. Anyone can get a
live peek into nests and nest boxes across the country. Live cameras for
Barn Owls, Barred Owls, and Wood Ducks are online right now with Eastern
Bluebirds and other species soon to follow at www.nestcams.org
