〈Thesis〉Birds around Kyushu Junior College of Kinki University(2): Recommendation to Use Avifauna of Surrounding Environment in Early Childhood Education

[Abstract] Compared to the previous investigation from May to September in 2012, a newly 26 avian species were observed and 59 species were recorded in all. Four species observed in the previous study were not recorded. Sixteen of newly 26 species are a migratory bird migrated to Kyushu in winter. Four of other 10 species were wanderers and thus they appeared in the study area only during winter. Ruddy Crake, Moorhen, Long-tailed Tit andGrey-headed Bunting are a resident bird, but it could not be found them since the view was bad in the previous study season. These results show that the area around Kyushu Junior College of Kinki University has a greater variety of avifauna in winter, and therefore, this area is suitable for activity to let children be interested in wild birds. As a result of questionary survey to kindergartens and nursery schools, few of them carry out activity concerned wild birds. On the other hand, almost of them answered it that they wanted to use it if there was an effective method to concern wild birds. The authors are going to perform the monitoring of the bird table with a network camera as one of the effective method to concern wild birds this winter. In the middle basin of Ongagawa River, the observing in the fixed point with window shade is thought to be also the effective method, because there are many bird species appearing in the specific place, such as Common Kingfisher, in winter.著者主要担当科目(高木): 環境，自然環境，生命科学著者主要担当科目(林): 自然科学著者ローマ字別表記: Hayashi, Kouj
