Enter Nick Spigler's room and you'll find the nest of a tree swallow（樹燕）and rows of books about birds.Clearly，this 16-year-old boy has his head in the clouds and his feet off the ground.
Several times a week，Ellie Andreen，15，visits a park near her home to check on her little family.The bluebird boxes she placed there last winter have produced several babies，which Ellie takes care of them like a mother hen.
These young bird-watchers are not the only young people who enjoy birding in the United States county of Harford，Maryland.Several local schools offer programs in ornithology（鳥類學(xué)），even if some kids can't yet spell the word.
Both Nick and Ellie took up birding early on.They call themselves the Early Birds.Once a month，they join groups of 20 to 30 students to walk through nearby fields before class at 7：30 am，hoping to see a woodpecker（啄木鳥）.
"Being part of the bird club since the second grade made it seem more common than just some strange hobbies，" Nick said. "I had to get up at 6：30 am for the walks.That was for the birds，so I didn't mind."
Mary Murray，65，a leading member of the Harford Bird Club，said， "If kids pay attention to what birds are doing，they will understand the health of their environment."
