During the classes

Teacher. Today we have an unusual lesson - an excursion lesson. We will take a trip to the winter forest. There are many forests in our country. Our republic is included in the forest zone. The forest occupies more than half of its territory. The forest is the outfit of our land. Where there is a forest, there is clean air. The forest is home to animals and birds.

Now let's dream a little. We closed our eyes. Let's pretend we put on our skis and set off for the forest.

(The music of Tchaikovsky's "The Four Seasons" is played.)

(On the screen is a picture of a winter forest.) Appendix 1. Slide 1.

Winter forest - it's like a fairy tale
And especially then,
When frosty white paint
Puffs it down slightly.
The forest is solemn, calm,
The silence rings in my ears
A veil of fluffy white
He is obediently covered all over.
White snow - how wonderful it is!
Its shine is like blue.
And where the eye does not look,
Winter is everywhere.

Cold and hungry to the birds in winter
Feed the birds in winter!
Let from all ends
They will fly to you like home
Flocks on the porch.
Their feed is not rich,
A handful of grain is needed.
One handful - and not scary
It will be winter.
Train your birds in the cold
To your window
So that without songs you don't have to
We welcome spring.

So we visited the winter forest. It's time to go home.

We closed our eyes. (Music sounds.) We opened our eyes.

Did you enjoy this walk through the winter forest?

What other wintering birds do you know? Slide 22.

The world of birds is diverse, and each bird is special with its own habits and colors. But all birds are beautiful!

(Children sing "The Sparrow Song" by the musician Kompaneets, lyrics by Sinyavsky.)

Teacher.Guys, we talked a lot about birds. Try to guess which bird you are talking about.

Black-winged, red-breasted,
And in the winter will find shelter:
He is not afraid of a cold -
With the first snow - right there. (Bullfinch.)

Today we will make a picturesque mosaic of a bird - a bullfinch.

Mosaic (translated from French) is an image or pattern made from pieces of the same or different materials.

What material do you think this mosaic is made of? Slide 7.

What colors can you find in the image of a bullfinch?

Instead of black, we use a white napkin and then paint it.

  1. Take a napkin, tear a narrow strip of it and roll up the balls.
  2. Begin to glue the balls from the upper part of the body.

How is it more convenient to stick it - one ball at a time or by spreading glue on a small area, and then stick the balls over it?

We will work in pairs. How do you start your work?

Lesson summary.Exhibition of the best works.

K. MIKHAILOV, candidate of biological sciences.

Many readers, of course, remember Vitaly Bianchi's “Lesnaya Gazeta” - stories about simple events from the life of plants, animals and birds, which introduce us to the little secrets of nature, teach us to understand and love it. The ability to see the beautiful and unusual in what surrounds us in the field, in the forest, on the lake, helps not only to understand the life of “our smaller brothers”, but also to feel like a part of a single community of living beings on the planet.

January is outside. At night, the temperature drops to minus twenty. It seems that under the deep snow cover all living things froze. But this is not the case. In any public garden or park, or even near the house, near the dustbin, you will see birds - a noisy flock of sparrows, crows, jackdaws. Among them, titmouses sometimes flicker. First of all, it is a stocky big tit with a bright yellow breast, a "highway", and a more miniature blue tit - with a blue, almost azure, azure cap.

But can you sit at home all winter? No, for those who love nature, this is impossible. Let's go to the forest. Moreover, you can see a lot of interesting things there even in winter.

In the winter forest, it is as quiet as in a tidied house with white tablecloths covered. Deserted but waiting for guests. It would seem that no one is here. But let's listen. From somewhere above, from the furry paws of fir trees, a quiet squeak is heard. These are kinglets - one of the smallest birds. These crumbs feed mainly on insects, but are not afraid of frost, they remain to winter in our area. What are they eating? The fact is that under the cover of dense spruce branches, where the temperature is slightly above zero, small insects gather that tolerate the cold well. Here is food for the king - how much does he need? From below, these birds, swarming in needles, look like gray lumps. And if you can see the little king closer, and even in bright sunlight, you can see that its back is olive green. On the head there is a yellowish or even orange crest-crown, extending from the forehead to the crown, bounded on the sides of the head by black stripes. A real little dandy.

Where there are korlets, there are, most likely, and tits. In city parks, we are accustomed to "highs" and blue tit, but in the coniferous forest near Moscow, first of all, we will meet puffs, or brown-headed tit. These mobile grayish birds are easily recognizable by their catchy black cap. They shout loudly and in a very peculiar way: the nasal-irritated "zee" or "zhee" - each ear perceives in its own way. If you saw a "puff", which makes less nasal and more sonorous sounds, besides constantly "swears", quickly saying "chick-b-b-b", then you caught the eye of a black-headed gadget. She is simply called a gadget.

Puff and chickweed are twin species. Outwardly, in nature, they are practically indistinguishable, but their songs are somewhat different. Some of the calls - the screams with which they communicate their presence - are similar, but there are also characteristic sounds that cannot be confused for anything. It is also necessary to pay attention to them. For example, at times the powdery moan and squeak "iiz, iiz, iiz", and the gadget “swears”.

Tits are the funniest creatures. They twirl, twirl, peel the bark, hang upside down on the thinnest tree branches. Pukhlyak prefers coniferous forests, and chickadee gravitates towards riverside alder and willow forests. But this is only “as a rule”. As you know, there are exceptions to each rule. So it is here. Puffs can be seen in the deciduous thickets near the river, and chicks can wander into the forest.

In the spruce or pine forest, you can also see the crested tit. It is even easier to see her in winter than in summer. This tit can be distinguished by its large motley crest on its head. She is laconic: the repertoire is limited to brisk trills "tsi-tsi-tchch" and the usual blue "tsi-tsi-ti". Unlike other crested tits, the crested tit does not like large companies: more often two or three birds gather.

But the opolovniki, as the long-tailed tits have been affectionately called (the old Russian word “opolovnik” means a ladle), on the contrary, are very sociable birds. The fishmonger itself looks like a ball of loose feathers, with a tiny beak and a long black tail with white stripes on the sides. A flock of mugs is constantly moving, and the birds flap from tree to tree, from bush to bush, doing wonders of acrobatics on the branches. Often you hear them first and only then see them. The long-tailed tit's voice cannot be confused with any other. It is a rattling "chrrr" or "jrrr" sound that resembles the sound of a broken guitar string.

How do all these birds survive the harsh winter, because they feed on insects? The secret is simple: at the expense of your own "mind" and shrewdness. Since autumn, titmice have been preparing food for the winter: literally millions of dried spiders and small insects are shoved into the cracks of the bark of trees. If there is enough food, the birds do not care about frosts. In some zoos, even budgerigars, native to Australia, spend the winter quietly in an open cage if the temperature does not drop below twenty degrees. What can we say about hardened tit! There would be food. But winter supplies become inaccessible to birds when the temperature drops below fifteen degrees or there is a thaw, abruptly replaced by frost. Getting food from icy bark is almost impossible.

This is where feeders help the birds, which each of us can place outside his window, hang in a park or square. In severe frosts, energy losses in birds increase, and feeding sometimes saves their lives. Let's remember this! Seeds and lard are especially high-calorie foods. Such a delicacy is always preferred by the tits to bread crumbs. And the sparrows, which are the first to learn about the feeding trough in city parks and bring all their “relatives and friends” there, will not bury themselves on bacon.

By the way, not all tits stay with us for the winter. Some birds migrate in autumn to the southern regions and return only in spring. The morals, tastes and habits of different tits are different - just like people! This, by the way, also helps to survive in the harsh season. In a tit flock, each bird knows its congeners well and has its own “social rank”. There are older ones - dominants, there are younger ones who are in a subordinate position. With age and all kinds of "social" perturbations, the position of the bird in the flock can change. Sometimes the social status of a bird changes if it has a partner of a higher rank. In general, females are oppressed: in winter they get the worst feeding areas, and in the flock they often occupy a more vulnerable position. And yet it is easier to live "in bulk" than to live alone. And you will notice the predator faster, and you will sooner find food together.

In the forest where there are tits, there is a nuthatch. It can be seen right in flocks of titmouses: a lively gray bird with a reddish undertail, a black stripe across the eye and a strong chisel-like beak, somewhat larger than titmouses. The nuthatch moves up and down the tree trunk, rustling bark. He deals with cones masterfully. Tits do it worse. But the pika with its thin, slightly curved beak can only carefully probe the bark in search of insects and spiders. You cannot confuse a pika with a nuthatch: it is brownish and crooked; crawls along the trunk only upwards, leaning on the tail, like a woodpecker. He cannot move his head down.

By the way, about woodpeckers. These forest orderlies also love to join mixed flocks of titmice in winter. First of all, in bird companies the great spotted woodpecker flickers - the small spotted woodpecker is much more independent, more often it “walks by itself”, but it can also be found in many-sided bird flocks. And if you're lucky, you will see a three-toed woodpecker. In winter, these rare guests "pull up" in the forests near Moscow.

In addition to tit flocks in the winter forest, especially at the edge of a birch forest or in a riverine alder forest, you can probably see flocks of siskins and sometimes tap dancers. Somewhere closer to the village, on the outskirts of the city, bullfinches and waxwings will meet. You can always distinguish a bullfinch by its elegant raspberry breast, and the brown waxwing is larger, with a tuft on its head.

These birds, like tits, siskins and tap-dancing, are also always in flocks. Why? This is not an idle question. Let's try to figure it out.

Birds come together primarily because they are terribly sociable creatures, or, as ornithologists academically put it, "highly social creatures." That is, they simply do not like loneliness, they feel discomfort without their fellow tribesmen, and therefore they easily become attached and unite with individuals of their own and other species. This is a prerequisite. But there is also a direct benefit: in mixed flocks in the harsh winter time, it is much easier to survive together. And every adult titmouse or nuthatch knows about it from its own experience, as it has an excellent memory. That is, the birds remember well those situations that caused them a feeling of comfort or discomfort, satiety or hunger. In addition, many birds imitate each other and easily adopt everything new: information on how to get another type of food or where to look for it spreads through the “bird telegraph” at high speed.

Mixed flocks of different species are not accidental. They appear in common feeding areas and help different species of birds get food more successfully. For example, a nuthatch and a woodpecker will gouge a cone or bark of a tree with their strong beak, and titmice with a weaker beak will pick up food on the fly or pick it up in the snow. Titmouse can feast on “table leftovers” in the inner sections of the trunk, opened and torn apart by the powerful beak of a woodpecker. And there is more than enough food - wintering larvae and insect eggs, which are usually inaccessible to tits.

On the other hand, in a flock it is always more likely that at least someone will find a tree or a branch rich in food, which then all the members of the flock will "fly into". After all, the one who found food immediately notifies others. Finally, many small forest birds spend the night together, hugging each other and thus retaining precious warmth. So there are many benefits. Watch the winter flocks of birds and you will see for yourself.

Each bird species adapts to winter in its own way. Someone can survive only in a pack, someone needs their own family. What can you say about birds that not only feel great in the bitter winter frosts, but also breed? Unbelievable, but it is a fact. These birds are crossbills. Why did they choose such a strange time for such a difficult task? The fact is that winter for crossbills is the best time to feed offspring. After all, their chicks feed on seeds of spruce. These lionfish seeds ripen in the fall and remain in the buds throughout the winter. In March, when the scales of the cones, heated by the sun's rays, open, the seeds will fall to the ground. At this time, the crossbill chicks begin to fly out of the nest, which can easily get their own food. But for the chicks to fly out in March, it is necessary to lay eggs in late January - early February. That is, just in the most severe frosts.

The weather itself does not bother birds very much. The main thing is that there is food. If there is no food, for example, there is a sudden crop failure of spruce seeds, then the crossbills in such a year will not nest at all.

It is strange, of course, to see a bird on a nest in a snowy forest. However, the nest still needs to be found, and this is not easy. It is located high above the ground, usually on spruce, under the cover of powerful thorny paws, and even topped with snow caps. Therefore, even seasoned hunters who have gone through the forest far and wide often do not know that crossbills nest in winter.

The nest itself is a well-insulated winter house: very dense, with thick walls, and abundantly lined with moss from the inside. While the parents are just incubating the clutch, one of them almost never leaves the nest so that the cold does not touch the eggs. But when the chicks have already hatched, the parents cannot warm them all the time - they have to fly away for food, sometimes for a long time. And although the nest is well insulated, the chicks are pretty cool in it. Nevertheless, they safely tolerate low temperatures - after all, their food is very high in calories.

Both in the forest and in the city in winter you can often hear an unpretentious, sonorous, soul-pleasing song: "qi-ping, qi-ping, zi-zin ... zi-zin." This is the song of the big tit. She starts her short concerts since the new year, as soon as the sun begins to linger a little longer in our, Northern, hemisphere.

And a little later, towards the end of February, from the top of a tall linden or oak, no-no, and you will hear a wonderful melodic trill. This is the blue tit sings. There is something to be glad about - the difficult winter tests for birds are over. It's not scary that there is snow, and the temperature at night is well below zero. Still, the severe January frosts have already ended, the day has become longer (you can feed longer), and the sun is shining brighter. Spring is ahead!

When you walk through the spring forest, sometimes you can hear overhead "trrr-trrr-trrr!", As if someone is knocking on an empty barrel. This is the woodpecker's spring song. Woodpeckers will find an old, rotten aspen in the forest. For two weeks, they gouge a deep hollow in turn. The bottom of the hollow is covered with sawdust - so the nest is ready.

If you approach an aspen and knock with a stick, the chicks will squeal loudly and will look out of the hollow. They still do not know how to fly, they crawl along the walls of the hollow. They will grow up, scatter through the forest, peel spruce cones, gouge the bark with a strong beak, look for caterpillars and beetles.

Sometimes a whole bunch of dried pine cones are piled under the tree. Nearby is a woodpecker's smithy. A woodpecker will thrust a cone into a split branch, peck out all the seeds, throw an empty cone down and fly after another.

The woodpecker is a tree bird. It hollows diseased trees and reaches out with a long tongue of pest beetles and their larvae. If there are many woodpeckers in the forest, then the trees will be strong and healthy.

Forest crows live in pairs. And they live for two hundred years or more. A couple of ravens flies over the taiga and carefully examines every clearing, every stream. If they notice prey: the remains of a deer that was bitten by a bear, or a dead fish on the shore, they will immediately let other crows know. "Kruk-krruk-krruk", - the cry of a raven rushes over the taiga, he notifies other ravens that he has found prey.

You can never confuse a hooded raven with a forest raven. The hooded crow has gray and black feathers, and the collar is all black. The crow flies closer to the village in winter, bites something in the dump, and the raven never approaches human habitation, he is a wild bird of the forest.

All birds build nests, hatch chicks. Except for the cuckoo. The cuckoo is waiting for some bird to fly away from the nest for food. Then the cuckoo will throw its egg into someone else's nest.

So the cuckoo chicks have hatched. First of all, as he grew up, he threw out the chick chicks from the nest on the ground. And now - that's how big! All day chiffchaffs carry caterpillars, larvae, beetles - and all the cuckoo is small, the beak opens and squeaks.

Without tits, the winter forest seems dead. Only a pine branch will creak and a snow cap will fall from the tree. But as a flock of tits flies in, the forest comes to life.

Tits with a squeak, with a kick, fly from branch to branch, from tree to tree - they examine every crack in the bark: is there a tree seed, is there a sleeping bug lurking somewhere. There are so many tits in the flock:

and blue tit, and Muscovy, and neradera with striped tufts on their heads ...

Tits do not fly to warm countries for the winter, like other birds, and resonate in the winter forest. And in summer, the whole forest rings with bird voices, and the tits are not visible or even heard with their modest song. In the fierce cold, the tits fly to the huts, and the guys pour sunflower seeds on the feeders for them, otherwise the hungry tits will freeze in the forest.

Capercaillie is an inhabitant of forest thickets. This is a large forest rooster. In summer, when blueberries, lingonberries, blueberries ripen, the capercaillie feeds on berries. And on the banks of streams, wood grouses peck small pebbles so that in the stomach the pebbles, like millstones, grind the berries. In winter, the wood grouse feeds on pine needles. The millstones grind them. In the spring, as the snow melts in the forest, the wood grouses begin to march - sing their spring songs. Capercaillie walks on the ground like a turkey, spreading its tail in a fan, and clicks with its beak, as if two sticks knock on one another. And the song ends, as if a knife is being sharpened on a block. At the end of the song, the capercaillie stalls, that's why they called him the capercaillie.

Woodcock is a woodcock. His eyes are big, like two currants to see at dusk. It will start to get dark, the woodcock will get out of the bushes onto the forest road and walk on the ground, feed. It will launch its beak into the soft ground and feel with its beak: if a worm or a bug moves close, it immediately catches it and swallows it.

And during the day, the woodcock hides under the bushes, you will pass by and you will not see it. If you disturb the aldsnip in the nest, it will leave the nest, and transfer the little chicks to a new place. It flies over the forest and holds a chick in its paws. Until all the chicks endure, the woodcock will not calm down.

A magpie flies through the forest, chirps, and flies up to the nest in silence. The nest of a magpie looks like a clutch: twigs are piled on top and entrances on the sides. The magpie sits in the nest, only the tail sticks out and the beak. Sorochats flew out of the nest, sat down on the trees, chirping, asking for food.

The Sparrow Owl is a small nocturnal predator. As it gets dark in the forest, the little boy silently flies over forest glades, over vegetable gardens and listens. A field mouse will squeak, and the detective will rush at it and grab it. Sychik brings his prey into the hollow of an old oak tree. When there are many mice, the little boy puts them in reserve for the winter. In winter, you can find a lot of frozen mice in the hollow - this is what the little boy has trained. The mice gnaw the grain and devastate the fields, and the bread helps preserve the harvest.

As the goshawk appears, there is a commotion in the forest: we must hide. Even hares hide on the ground. The goshawk flies quickly between the trees, looking out for its prey, and behind it, squeaking, screaming, forest birds fly: jays, tits, siskins. The squirrel gags, does not have time to dive into the hollow - the goshawk will grab it. From a great height he sees a goshawk and a wood mouse, and a grouse, if it is not hiding well. The goshawk is a forest predator.

Nutcracker is a taiga bird. They called it that because most nutcrackers are in the cedar taiga. As the pine nuts ripen, the nutcracker makes supplies from morning to evening. He stuffs nuts into the goiter, and then shoves them into cracks in the rocks, hides them in the hollows of trees, buries them in the ground.

In the spring, when the snow melts, the nutcracker often forgets where it buried its reserves, but finds the nuts of other nutcrackers and feeds. Squirrels, chipmunks, and mice feed on stocks of nutcrackers. But many nuts remain in the ground. Small cedars grow from them. This is how the nutcracker plants the cedar forests.

Jay buries acorns in reserve. He chooses the ripe ones, only often forgets about them, and in the spring young oak trees grow from these acorns.

At night, an owl flies silently over a forest glade. A mouse will dash, rustle with leaves, the owl will catch it and return to the hollow again.

Autumn in the forest. Bird songs are not heard. Fieldbirds gathered near rowan trees in flocks and fatten themselves before migrating to warm regions.


When you walk through the spring forest, sometimes you can hear overhead "trrr-trrr-trrr!", As if someone is knocking on an empty barrel. This is the woodpecker's spring song.

Class hour in grade 2 "Sinichkin's Day"

Development of a class hour in grade 2 to familiarize yourself with the outside world. The lesson uses the phonogram "Voices of Birds", poems, folk signs, proverbs and sayings, a quiz. This material is used to get acquainted with the fauna of their area, develops horizons, instills a love for the animal and plant world.

Once upon a time in Russia, our ancestors celebrated a wonderful, kind and wise holiday, which called for taking care of nature, taking care of birds in a difficult period for them. This holiday was called Sinichka dayand it fell on November 12. The people even said: "The little bird-titmouse, but knows its holiday."

Folk rituals of feeding tits and other birds are associated with this holiday. It was on this day that titmouses flew from the forests and huddled closer to houses, to people, while many other, more thermophilic birds flew to warmer regions. Tits, like sparrows, are with us all year round. If in the warm season they live more in the forest, then with the onset of cold weather they fly closer to people, hoping for their help.

An excerpt from the book "Birds of Our Forests" by G. Snegirev:

“… Without tits, the winter forest seems dead. Only a pine branch will creak and a snow cap will fall from the tree. But as a flock of tits comes, the forest will come to life Tits with a squeak, with a beep fly from branch to branch, from tree to tree - they examine every path in the bark: is there a wooden seed, is there a sleeping bug somewhere.

In a fierce cold, tits fly to the huts, and the guys pour grain for them or put pieces of bread on the feeder, otherwise the hungry tits will freeze in the forest ... "

Poem. Tit

Flies with a yellow breast -

What are these birds?

How dressed up her look!

Her name is tit!

Lives in a small flock

In autumn and winter

Well, as summer comes -

Better for her alone!

She eats midges in summer

And in the frost - grains,

By nature - nimble,

Fast and agile!

"Sinichkin calendar" (folk signs)

Birds sit closer to the tree trunk in the evening - expected at night

freezing.

Sparrows are lethargic, sitting on twigs, cackling - this is bad weather.

If in winter the sparrows split up, this is a thaw.

If sparrows fly from place to place in flocks in winter, wait for the strong

If in June rooks graze on the grass, it will soon rain.

Proverbs and sayings about birds

A crow cannot be a falcon.

Foolish is the bird that does not like its nest.

There is nothing like leather.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

The swallow begins the day, and the nightingale ends.

The crow is in trouble.

It's good for a bird in a golden cage, and better for a branch.


  1. Why was the bullfinch given a snowy name? (Bullfinches come to us with the first snow, and in the spring they fly north to their native lands).

  2. Which bird has chicks incubating eggs? (In the northern white owl).

  3. Which bird has the largest family? (The gray partridge has 26-28 chicks).

  4. Who has never taken a step? (Sparrow).

  5. What bird can tease? (Parrot).

  6. Which bird is proud of its multicolored tail? (Peacock).

  7. What bird flies with "glasses" on the nose? (Owl).
It is interesting!

Forest crows live in pairs. The lifespan of crows is 200 years or more.

Forest crows live in the forest, feed on carrion. They are black. The common crow is gray. In winter, she flies closer to human housing, to a dump.

In winter, you can watch a flock of tits fly after the woodpecker, they feed near the woodpecker. What the woodpecker did not peck out of the cones is pecked by the tits. A woodpecker will smash some rotten tree, and titmouses are right there: feasting on bugs or grubs.

Woodpeckers are considered a woody bird. He gouges diseased trees with his beak and pulls out with his long tongue from under the bark of beetles, bark beetles, and larvae.

Owls are very responsive to affection and love to give pleasure by touching each other's feathers. Protecting chicks, they are fearless in front of any enemy. They do not need someone else, they drive away single strangers from the family territory, but they themselves do not violate the borders and do not allow themselves to be provoked into this.
