JUST CANT FIGURE THIS OOOUUUTTTTT (will give brainlyest) swear)
A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.

Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.


Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.

A paragraph describing Greg form dairy on a wimpy kid

ype the summary of Yellowstone National Park that you were prompted to write in the lesson.

The text Yellowstone National Park is included again for you below. Refer to it as needed.

Yellowstone National Park

About the Park

Yellowstone National Park is located in the states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Yellowstone was the first national park in the United States and is considered to be one of the first national parks in the world. The park contains several hydrothermal wonders, which are natural vents on the earth's surface that emit heat. Some examples of these vents include hot springs. Lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges cover more than 3,000 square miles, or five percent of the entire park. Yellowstone's wetlands provide a vital habitat for numerous insects, birds, fish, rare plants, and thermal species such as reptiles and amphibians. Visitors from all over the world flock year-round to the park to experience wildlife, hiking, snowmobiling, skiing, rock climbing, and camping. There are several designated areas throughout the 2 million acres of park where people can stay. Visitors who are as hungry as bears can dine at one of the park's many restaurants.

Climate

The climate of Yellowstone is largely influenced by its elevation. Precipitation levels change frequently and can range from little rain to downpours depending on location. The climate of the park has been gradually becoming warmer over the last 50 years. This has led to the of melting of the blanket of snow that covers the mountains, which, in turn, affects water levels, vegetation growth, and the habits of wildlife. Many species depend on deep snow to breed, raise their young, and hunt successfully. The snow provides protection and camouflage for prey and also cover for predators.

Animal Survival

Yellowstone has the largest public herd of American bison in the United States. It wasn't always this way, however. While bison once roamed wild through most of North America in great numbers, an intense hunting campaign in the 1880s led to a dramatic decrease in population. By the late 1880s, only about two dozen bison were left in Yellowstone Park. In 1902, the park's management set about trying to help the bison population bounce back. By 1954, the herd had grown to over 1,000 animals. Park staff have worked hard in order to successfully bring these bison back from the brink of extinction. The bison that now live in the park feed primarily on grasses and plants in the open grasslands and meadows. They typically forage for 9 to 11 hours daily, and as a result, overgrazing is a continuous concern. Consequently, access to water is also very important to the bison herd that roams the park.

Wildlife: What to Do

Once in a blue moon, you may encounter a wild animal in Yellowstone Park. Don't let curiosity kill the cat. Rule number one is to never approach the wildlife in the park. If you happen to encounter an animal on your adventures, there are a few important things to remember. These animals consider the park their home and may have babies nearby. You may seem like an intruder, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Bison have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal. They are unpredictable and can run three times faster than humans. Other common animals in the park are bears. If you encounter a bear, remain calm, and try to appear nonthreatening. First, do not make direct eye contact with the bear. Next, speak to it in a calm voice so that it knows you are human. Then, leave the grounds calmly and slowly, never turning your back to the bear. Finally, if you have bear spray, remove the safety lock, and keep it on hand in case of an emergency. Ultimately, the safest way to view wildlife is from the inside of a vehicle.

Water and Geysers

Water plays an incredible role in the ecosystems found in Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding areas. The water that flows through the park is a vital national resource. Precipitation in the mountains flows through networks of streams and rivers to provide important moisture and habitats to plants and wildlife. The park is home to the largest concentration of mammals in the lower 48 states, including more than 150 species of birds and six species of reptiles, all of whom rely on the fresh water.
