Tennessee’s Watchable Wildlife

Tennessee's Watchable Wildlife has extensive information on the birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians of Tennessee. Students will find life history and additional information on each species that is specific to Tennessee, a variety of photos of each species, and songs or calls for many of birds and frogs and toads.  Students will also discover detailed information for nearly 200 places to watch wildlife in the state.
From their website:
"We developed the web site and information so it is a valuable educational tool for students of all levels from K-12 and beyond.  Students of all levels can sort the birds by color or taxonomic group in order to identify birds seen at a classroom feeder or on a field trip and then read about their nesting biology and population status.  In addition to the pages presenting all the birds and mammals of Tennessee, we have created a page that shows all the non-native birds and mammals in Tennessee, which addresses Ecology Standard 3, Check for Understanding 3255.3.3 about identifying native and non-native species in Tennessee."
