Glacier Bay Seabirds

This Glacier Bay Seabirds ppt also includes:
  • Graphic & Image
  • Join to access all included materials

A gorgeous collection of photographs take viewers on a virtual tour or Glacier Bay National Park with a focus on the seabirds living in the area. Adaptations to the polar climate are highlighted, different species of birds are displayed, and even the relation to the local Tlingit tribes is discussed. Because the slides are text-heavy, this would be most suitable to high school ecologists. Perhaps they could examine it as homework, and then you could hold a discussion in class.
