The birds are back!
Many of you watched the nesting cycle last year of a redtail hawk nest in Cambridge MA. The redtails have moved on, but have "sublet" their "condo" to a family of falcons. To view the webcam, click here.Axis software is required to see the video feed. She has hatched four fuzzy eyasses. For information on hawks and falcons,click here. The new family has been identified as Peregrine Falcons. More on them from Cornell Lab of Ornithology's All About Birds.
 
Cleveland also has a FalconCam. For their latest Falcon Flash, click here. They have Peregrine Falcons SW and Buckeye and the eyasses are getting ready to fledge.

Since 1952, the Connecticut Science Teachers Association has spoken for the needs and interests of science teachers in Connecticut. CSTA has been your voice in professional development, science curriculum, instruction, certification, and communication with the Connecticut State Department of Education, the Connecticut Academy for Education in Math, Science, & Technology and many others about the direction that science education should take. Wherever you teach science, and whatever level, CSTA has represented you, the science teacher.

Through its publications, the CSTA Newsletter, and Connecticut Journal of Science Education, timely information and ideas are brought to the CSTA membership. Workshops, symposia and the Connecticut Science Educations Professional Development Day are examples of some of the other benefits that CSTA has offered to its members. As a member of CSTA, you are more likely to hear about the doings of science, technology and other issues facing science teachers in Connecticut.

CSTA is a non-profit organization, organized and run by busy science educators. There are many dedicated volunteers that help make CSTA a growing and vital organization. We would like to extend an invitation to you to volunteer to serve with the CSTA Board or one of its committees
