(Gasping)
>> It's starting to snow!
(Giggling)
Hm.
(Geese honking)
It's some geese flying south for
the winter.
Bye, geese!
See you next spring!
(Chirping)
(Gasping)
I know who that is!
Chicky, I'm so glad to see you!
You're my favorite chickadee
bird friend.
(Chirping)
You sound happy.
Chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee!
(Chirping)
Yum, that berry looks yummy.
Bye, Chicky!
(Chirping)
Oh, you're back?
Another berry?
You must be hungry.
>> Elinor, time to come in!
>> Coming Mom!
Bye, Chicky!
Guess what, Mom.
I saw Chicky today.
>> Oh, your chickadee bird
friend?
How is she?
>> She's great, but why is she
still here?
>> What do you mean?
>> Ms. Mole said birds fly
south where it's warm in winter,
because it's hard to find food
when the snow comes.
>> That's true.
>> So, why didn't Chicky fly
south like the geese I saw
today?
>> Well, not all birds fly
somewhere warm for the winter,
Elinor.
Lots of birds stay here, not
just Chicky.
The ones that stay are the ones
that can find food.
Mwah, now, have a good sleep,
honey bunny.
I'll see you in the morning.
Sweet dreams.
(Door closing)
>> But how is Chicky going to
find food with all the snow?
Wow, look at all the snow!
Uh-oh, that's the bush where
Chicky got the berries.
It's covered in snow now.
Chicky?
Where are you?
Chicky!
>> Hey, Elinor, what are you
doing?
>> Hi Ari, hi Olive.
I'm looking for my friend
Chicky.
Chicky!
>> Oh, you mean the little bird
with the pretty black feathers
in her head?
>> Yep, that's her.
>> I love her, she's so
friendly.
>> But don't birds fly south in
the winter?
>> Not all of them.
My Mom said some birds stay
here.
>> Ari, what are you eating?
>> Sunflower seeds!
Want some?
>> BOTH: Sure!
(All crunching)
>> I'm a little worried about
Chicky.
>> Why?
>> Yesterday I saw her picking
some berries from that little
berry bush.
>> What bush?
I don't see any bush.
Just a lump of sn--
Ooh, I get it.
>> Chicky's berry bush is
covered in snow.
>> Yup, everything is covered
in snow.
>> Then how is Chicky going to
find berries?
Or any kind of food?
>> My mom said birds that stay
here can find food, but I don't
see how they can do it with all
this snow.
>> Huh.
>> I know, I'll get my
binoculars, and we'll see if we
can find Chicky.
We need more observations!
>> So, how do birds find food in
the winter?
>> Maybe they order pizza.
>> Mm, I don't think birds have
phones.
>> Right, good point.
>> I know, maybe they put their
food in lunch boxes, like we do.
>> Maybe, but how would they
carry them?
They're way too big.
>> You're right.
Maybe they have backpacks.
>> Look, I see something
fluttering in the trees!
>> Let's go check it out.
>> Come on!
Over there!
Those birds are eating some
berries.
(All laughing)
>> And that bird is pulling bugs
out of the tree.
>> Wow!
>> Cool!
And look those birds are
eating seeds from a sunflower.
(Munching, giggling)
(Giggling)
>> Come on!
>> Wow, winter birds find food
in all kinds of hidden places.
Berries, bugs in trees,
sunflowers left over from
summer.
(Munching)
>> Anywhere they can.
>> That is so interesting!
But what about Chicky?
We still don't know where she's
getting her food.
(Chirping)
(Gasping)
>> That's Chicky!
I know it's her because she
always goes
"Chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee!"
Come on!
>> There she is!
>> What's she doing?
>> I'll take a closer look.
>> Hey, there are seeds and
berries inside this tree.
>> I'll bet Chicky put them
there.
I saw her flying off with
berries in her beak yesterday.
>> Smart Chicky!
It's like her own little tree
lunch box, so I was sort of
right.
>> So, that's how she gets food
during the winter.
When she's hungry she just goes
to the tree and gets some, but I
noticed there weren't many seeds
in that hole.
>> Uh-oh, what if Chicky runs
out of food before the end of
winter?
>> I know, let's give her some
of our sunflower seeds.
>> Great idea.
>> Here you go, Chicky, some
nice seeds for you.
(Chirping)
(Gasping)
>> BOTH: Whoa!
>> She landed on me!
She landed on me!
I can't believe Chicky landed on
me!
>> Let's go tell my Mom!
(Giggling)
And then we saw birds looking
for food in all kinds of cool
places, Mom.
>> Like bugs inside trees.
>> And leftover apples.
>> Yep, it's tricky, but birds
who stay here in winter find
food anywhere they can.
That's called foraging, when you
look in all kinds of places.
Like when Chicky foraged for
sunflower seeds on Olive's
trunk!
(All giggling)
>> Wait a minute, I know how we
can help Chicky.
Let's build bird-feeders so
Chicky and other birds can get
more food in winter.
>> But what will we make it out
of?
>> I know, let's forage around
the house and look for things
we can use to make bird-feeders.
>> That's a fabulous plan!
Forage away, kids!

>> Huh?!
>> Finished!
>> You made a milk carton into a
birdfeeder house.
That is so smart, Olive!
>> Oh, this isn't just a house.
>> It's a birdfeeder library!
Nice!
>> This way the birds will have
something to read while they
have a snack!
(Kids giggling)
>> I made a flying saucer bird
feeder from two paper plates.
The top plate is the roof, and
the bottom plate is for the
seeds.
Beep-boop-boop-beep.
Beep-beep-beep-boop.
Beep-boop-boop.
Take us to your birdseed.
(Giggling)
>> Let's see your birdfeeder,
Elinor.
>> Here it is!
>> It looks just like Chicky's
tree!
>> I made it out of a
paper-towel roll.
You just pour the food in the
top and it comes out this hole
on the side.
>> Cool, there sure are lots of
different ways to make a
birdfeeder.
>> Hm, now, we just have to
fill them up with food.
Ari, can we have some of your
sunflower seeds, please?
>> Sure thing!
Uh-oh, we ate them all.
>> Oh, no!
Now what are we going to do?
(Chuckling)
>> Hm, sunflower seeds, eh?
>> Mom, you have a secret hiding
place!
>> Just like Chicky.
(Kids giggling)
>> Thanks, Mom.
What else do birds like to eat,
Olive?
>> Uh, apples.
>> I have some apples right
here.
I'll cut up some slices.
>> And bugs!
>> Sorry, kids, no bugs in my
kitchen.
(Kids laughing)
>> There we are.
Woo-hoo!
>> Nice work, Ari.
Hm.
Now all we need is...
(Chirping)
>> It's Chicky!
(Chirping)
>> Look, she's using the
birdfeeder you made, Elinor!
(Birds chirping)
>> And so are all her bird
friends!
>> Take as much food as you
want, birdies!
(Birds chirping)
>> We made these special
bird-feeders from all the stuff
we foraged around the house.
>> Uh-huh, that's right, we
foraged.
(Stomach growling)
Wow, watching those birds makes
me hungry.
>> Maybe we should build an
Ari-feeder next!
(All giggling)
(Chirping)
>> Senor Tapir, how do
chickadees keep warm in the
winter?
They don't have winter coats or
fur like us.
>> You know what, Elinor?
A scientist named Richard Hill
had the same question.
Lights, please.
♪ How do chickadees keep warm in
the winter? ♪
♪ Richard Hill wanted to know ♪
♪ When the temperature's
dropping, oh, why don't they
stop and become popsicles in the
snow? ♪
♪ The shape of a chickadee's

(Kids cheering)
And that's a song about a
scientist who explored the
ocean!
>> We love your songs about
scientists, Senor Tapir.
>> My favorites are the ones
where you sing about a scientist
who explores and then they ask
questions and then they discover
something!
(Laughing)
>> Yes, isn't learning about
scientists fun?
I'm so glad you like them and I
love playing and sharing these
songs with all of you.
>> Will you sing us another one,
Senor Tapir?
>> Aw, I would love to, Elinor,
but I have to tell you something
important.
>> What is it, Senor Tapir?
>> The time has come for me to
leave Animal Town.
>> What?
>> Why?
>> That's a bummer.
>> You're leaving?
>> Yes, tomorrow I'm sad to say.
Now that winter is coming, it's
time for me to go to another
town.
>> To another town?
>> But why?
>> Well, it's my job, you see.
I'm a traveling musical
instrument sales-animal, and my
job is to go from town to town
playing music and sharing these
wonderful instruments with
everyone.
>> I hope they love your songs
as much as we do.
>> Yeah!
>> Aw, thank you, kids.
That really makes my heart sing,
and you know how much my heart
likes to sing.
(Laughing)
But don't worry, kids, I'll be
back again next year.
>> Woah, next year?!
I can't wait that long!
(Chuckling)
>> I always come back to Animal
Town in the Spring.
Before you know it, the flowers
will be in bloom and you'll see
me again.
Who knows, maybe I'll have new
songs to sing to you.
(Strumming)
>> Awesome!
>> Well, I hope to see you again
tomorrow to say goodbye before
I leave, but now it's time for
you to go.
Thank you.
Muchas gracias.
(Grunting)
Adios!
>> Bye, Senor Tapir!
See you tomorrow.
>> See you later!
(Shivering)
>> It is getting kinda chilly.
It feels a little like winter
already.
>> It's too bad Senor Tapir has
to leave.
>> Yeah, who's gonna sing us
songs about scientists now?
>> Hey, I know, why don't we do
something special for Senor
Tapir before he leaves?
>> Great idea, Elinor!
He always is doing nice things
for us, we should do something
nice for him, but what should we
do?
>> Hm.
>> Hi, kids.
You look like you're trying to
figure something out.
>> Mom, Senor Tapir is leaving
tomorrow.
>> Yes, I heard.
I bet you kids must be sad.
>> Yeah, we're really going to
miss him.
>> Mom, we want to give Senor
Tapir something special.
>> That's very sweet of you,
kids.
I'm sure you'll find just the
right thing to give Senor Tapir
before he leaves tomorrow.
>> I hope so.
>> It's time to get home.
Goodnight, Elinor.
Goodnight, Ranger Rabbit!
>> Bye-bye!
>> See you tomorrow!
(Hooting)
(Birds singing)
Huh?
What's that?
(Birds singing)
Hm, I wonder what those sounds
are.
(Chirping)
(Snoring)
>> Mom!
>> Huh?
(Grunting)
What is it, dear?
>> I heard an interesting sound
outside that woke me up!
>> Hm, what kind of sound was
it?
>> I don't know, I want to go
outside and find out.
Will you come with me, Mom?
(Yawning)
>> Well, I guess it's never too
early in the morning to be
curious, is it?
>> Yay!
(Bird singing)
There are the sounds again.
Come on, we need more ob--
(Snoring)
(Shushing)
We need more observations!
(Yawning)
(Snoring)
(Bird singing)
(Gasping)
(Bird singing)
There it is!
That's the sound I heard!
>> Hm, that is an interesting
sound.
What do you think it is?
>> I don't know.
I don't think I've ever heard it
before.
(Bird singing)
There it is again.
I think it's coming from over
there.
>> I think you're right.
(Bird singing)
>> Look, it's those birds in the
tree that are making the sound.
(Chirping)
>> Mm-hm, those are wood
thrushes and magnolia warblers.
>> But Mom, I've never heard a
bird make those sounds before.
Birds usually sound like chirp
chirp, chirp-chirp-chirp, chirp,
chirp-chirp-chirp.
These sound more like
cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep.
I wonder why do these birds
sound different?
>> Keep observing, Elinor, I
think you might find out soon.
(Bird singing)
>> Wow, look at that all those
birds leaving.
(Birds singing)
It looks like they're all going
the same way.
(Wind blowing)
(Gasping)
Mom, are the birds leaving for
the winter, like Senor Tapir?
>> Yes, they are.
They're migrating.
You see, some birds don't like
the cold, so when it's almost
winter, they fly away somewhere
warmer.
>> Migrating?
>> Yes, these birds are on their
way there now.
(Gasping)
>> Is that why they are making
that special sound?
Because they're on a trip?
>> Yes, some birds make a
special sound or call when
they're flying together for the
winter.
(Birds singing)
>> What's wrong, Elinor?
>> I'm just a little sad that
the birds are leaving, just like
Senor Tapir.
>> Oh, don't worry, Elinor.
The birds and Senor Tapir will
come back next year.
Sometimes things in nature
leave, but then they come back.
>> Yeah, it's nice that the
birds make special sounds, when
they go on a trip.
>> Mm-hm!
>> Mom, that's it!
I think I know what we can give
Senor Tapir before he leaves.
Come on!
>> Well, have a good trip, Senor
Tapir.
Here, I baked you some fresh
snacks for your trip.
>> Wow, thank you, Mr. Raccoon!
I should sing a song about how
yummy your treats are.
>> Oh, well, thank you.
I do bake the best treats in
town.
Of course, I'm the only baker
in town.
>> Thanks for all of your
beautiful songs, Senor Tapir.
>> Thank you, Ms. Llama, I'll
miss your fruits and your
special sauces.
Muy deliciosas!
>> Aww, gee.
>> Well, now it's time for me to
go!
>> Senor Tapir, Senor Tapir!
>> Elinor, kids, I'm so glad you
came to say goodbye.
I didn't want to leave Animal
Town before saying adios one
last time.
>> Senor Tapir, we made
something special for you to
take on your trip.
>> Something special?
What is it?
>> Well, we were trying to think
of what to give you.
>> Because you're always singing
fun songs to us.
>> And then I heard an
interesting sound outside that
woke me up.
>> Yeah, Elinor told us all
about it.
It was birds, and they were
leaving too.
>> And when they leave for the
winter, they make a special bird
call.
>> That's so interesting!
>> Yes, it is!
So we had the idea to make a
special song for you for your
trip, just like the birds have
a special call when they go on
a trip.
>> How wonderful, kids!
I can't wait to hear it.
>> Great!
>> Yes!

I'll remember this special song
and take it with me on my
travels.
>> We're so glad you liked it,
Senor Tapir.
>> It's our way of saying
goodbye.
>> Where I come from, we say
"adios and hasta luego" which
means "goodbye and see you
later."
>> "Hasta luego", I like that.
>> Okay.
>> KIDS: Aww.
(Giggling)
>> I'm going to miss your songs
about scientists, Senor Tapir.
>> Well, you don't need me to
sing to you about scientists,
Ari.
You are all great scientists
yourselves.
Just look how much you learn by
listening and observing!
>> Yeah!
>> That's right!
>> Goodbye, everyone!
>> Adios, Senor Tapir.
>> And hasta luego!
>> Adios and hasta luego,

It's some geese flying south for

Bye, geese!
See you next spring!

>> Oh, this isn't just a house.
>> It's a birdfeeder library!
Nice!
>> This way the birds will have
something to read while they
have a snack!
(Kids giggling)
>> I made a flying saucer bird
feeder from two paper plates.
The top plate is the roof, and
the bottom plate is for the
seeds.
Beep-boop-boop-beep.
Beep-beep-beep-boop.
Beep-boop-boop.
Take us to your birdseed.
(Giggling)
>> Let's see your birdfeeder,
Elinor.
>> Here it is!
>> It looks just like Chicky's
tree!
>> I made it out of a
paper-towel roll.
You just pour the food in the
top and it comes out this hole
on the side.
>> Cool, there sure are lots of
different ways to make a
birdfeeder.
>> Hm, now, we just have to
fill them up with food.
Ari, can we have some of your
sunflower seeds, please?
>> Sure thing!
Uh-oh, we ate them all.
>> Oh, no!
Now what are we going to do?
(Chuckling)
>> Hm, sunflower seeds, eh?
>> Mom, you have a secret hiding
place!
>> Just like Chicky.
(Kids giggling)
>> Thanks, Mom.
What else do birds like to eat,
Olive?
>> Uh, apples.
>> I have some apples right
here.
I'll cut up some slices.
>> And bugs!
>> Sorry, kids, no bugs in my
kitchen.
(Kids laughing)
>> There we are.
Woo-hoo!
>> Nice work, Ari.
Hm.
Now all we need is...
(Chirping)
>> It's Chicky!
(Chirping)
>> Look, she's using the
birdfeeder you made, Elinor!
(Birds chirping)
>> And so are all her bird
friends!
>> Take as much food as you
want, birdies!
(Birds chirping)
>> We made these special
bird-feeders from all the stuff
we foraged around the house.
>> Uh-huh, that's right, we
foraged.
(Stomach growling)
Wow, watching those birds makes
me hungry.
>> Maybe we should build an
Ari-feeder next!
(All giggling)
(Chirping)
>> Senor Tapir, how do
chickadees keep warm in the
winter?
They don't have winter coats or
fur like us.
>> You know what, Elinor?
A scientist named Richard Hill
had the same question.
Lights, please.

the winter? ♪
♪ Richard Hill wanted to know ♪
♪ When the temperature's

(Kids cheering)
And that's a song about a
scientist who explored the
ocean!
>> We love your songs about
scientists, Senor Tapir.
>> My favorites are the ones
where you sing about a scientist
who explores and then they ask
questions and then they discover
something!
(Laughing)
>> Yes, isn't learning about
scientists fun?
I'm so glad you like them and I
love playing and sharing these
songs with all of you.
>> Will you sing us another one,
Senor Tapir?
>> Aw, I would love to, Elinor,
but I have to tell you something
important.
>> What is it, Senor Tapir?
>> The time has come for me to
leave Animal Town.
>> What?
>> Why?
>> That's a bummer.
>> You're leaving?
>> Yes, tomorrow I'm sad to say.
Now that winter is coming, it's
time for me to go to another
town.
>> To another town?
>> But why?
>> Well, it's my job, you see.
I'm a traveling musical
instrument sales-animal, and my
job is to go from town to town
playing music and sharing these
wonderful instruments with
everyone.
>> I hope they love your songs
as much as we do.
>> Yeah!
>> Aw, thank you, kids.
That really makes my heart sing,
and you know how much my heart
likes to sing.
(Laughing)
But don't worry, kids, I'll be
back again next year.
>> Woah, next year?!
I can't wait that long!
(Chuckling)
>> I always come back to Animal
Town in the Spring.
Before you know it, the flowers
will be in bloom and you'll see
me again.
Who knows, maybe I'll have new
songs to sing to you.
(Strumming)
>> Awesome!
>> Well, I hope to see you again
tomorrow to say goodbye before
I leave, but now it's time for
you to go.
Thank you.
Muchas gracias.
(Grunting)
Adios!
>> Bye, Senor Tapir!
See you tomorrow.
>> See you later!
(Shivering)
>> It is getting kinda chilly.
It feels a little like winter
already.
>> It's too bad Senor Tapir has
to leave.
>> Yeah, who's gonna sing us
songs about scientists now?
>> Hey, I know, why don't we do
something special for Senor
Tapir before he leaves?
>> Great idea, Elinor!
He always is doing nice things
for us, we should do something
nice for him, but what should we
do?
>> Hm.
>> Hi, kids.
You look like you're trying to
figure something out.
>> Mom, Senor Tapir is leaving
tomorrow.
>> Yes, I heard.
I bet you kids must be sad.
>> Yeah, we're really going to
miss him.
>> Mom, we want to give Senor
Tapir something special.
>> That's very sweet of you,
kids.
I'm sure you'll find just the
right thing to give Senor Tapir
before he leaves tomorrow.
>> I hope so.
>> It's time to get home.
Goodnight, Elinor.
Goodnight, Ranger Rabbit!
>> Bye-bye!
>> See you tomorrow!
(Hooting)
(Birds singing)
Huh?
What's that?
(Birds singing)
Hm, I wonder what those sounds
are.
(Chirping)
(Snoring)
>> Mom!
>> Huh?
(Grunting)
What is it, dear?
>> I heard an interesting sound
outside that woke me up!
>> Hm, what kind of sound was
it?
>> I don't know, I want to go
outside and find out.
Will you come with me, Mom?
(Yawning)
>> Well, I guess it's never too
early in the morning to be
curious, is it?
>> Yay!
(Bird singing)
There are the sounds again.
Come on, we need more ob--
(Snoring)
(Shushing)
We need more observations!
(Yawning)
(Snoring)
(Bird singing)
(Gasping)
(Bird singing)
There it is!
That's the sound I heard!
>> Hm, that is an interesting
sound.
What do you think it is?
>> I don't know.
I don't think I've ever heard it
before.
(Bird singing)
There it is again.
I think it's coming from over
there.
>> I think you're right.
(Bird singing)
>> Look, it's those birds in the
tree that are making the sound.
(Chirping)
>> Mm-hm, those are wood
thrushes and magnolia warblers.
>> But Mom, I've never heard a
bird make those sounds before.
Birds usually sound like chirp
chirp, chirp-chirp-chirp, chirp,
chirp-chirp-chirp.
These sound more like
cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep.
I wonder why do these birds
sound different?
>> Keep observing, Elinor, I
think you might find out soon.
(Bird singing)
>> Wow, look at that all those
birds leaving.
(Birds singing)
It looks like they're all going
the same way.
(Wind blowing)
(Gasping)
Mom, are the birds leaving for
the winter, like Senor Tapir?
>> Yes, they are.
They're migrating.
You see, some birds don't like
the cold, so when it's almost
winter, they fly away somewhere
warmer.
>> Migrating?
>> Yes, these birds are on their
way there now.
(Gasping)
>> Is that why they are making
that special sound?
Because they're on a trip?
>> Yes, some birds make a
special sound or call when
they're flying together for the
winter.
(Birds singing)
>> What's wrong, Elinor?
>> I'm just a little sad that
the birds are leaving, just like
Senor Tapir.
>> Oh, don't worry, Elinor.
The birds and Senor Tapir will
come back next year.
Sometimes things in nature
leave, but then they come back.
>> Yeah, it's nice that the
birds make special sounds, when
they go on a trip.
>> Mm-hm!
>> Mom, that's it!
I think I know what we can give
Senor Tapir before he leaves.
Come on!
>> Well, have a good trip, Senor
Tapir.
Here, I baked you some fresh
snacks for your trip.
>> Wow, thank you, Mr. Raccoon!
I should sing a song about how
yummy your treats are.
>> Oh, well, thank you.
I do bake the best treats in
town.
Of course, I'm the only baker
in town.
>> Thanks for all of your
beautiful songs, Senor Tapir.
>> Thank you, Ms. Llama, I'll
miss your fruits and your
special sauces.
Muy deliciosas!
>> Aww, gee.
>> Well, now it's time for me to
go!
>> Senor Tapir, Senor Tapir!
>> Elinor, kids, I'm so glad you
came to say goodbye.
I didn't want to leave Animal
Town before saying adios one
last time.
>> Senor Tapir, we made
something special for you to
take on your trip.
>> Something special?
What is it?
>> Well, we were trying to think
of what to give you.
>> Because you're always singing
fun songs to us.
>> And then I heard an
interesting sound outside that
woke me up.
>> Yeah, Elinor told us all
about it.
It was birds, and they were
leaving too.
>> And when they leave for the
winter, they make a special bird
call.
>> That's so interesting!
>> Yes, it is!
So we had the idea to make a
special song for you for your
trip, just like the birds have
a special call when they go on
a trip.
>> How wonderful, kids!
I can't wait to hear it.
>> Great!
>> Yes!

I'll remember this special song
and take it with me on my
travels.
>> We're so glad you liked it,
Senor Tapir.
>> It's our way of saying
goodbye.
>> Where I come from, we say
"adios and hasta luego" which
means "goodbye and see you
later."
>> "Hasta luego", I like that.
>> Okay.
>> KIDS: Aww.
(Giggling)
>> I'm going to miss your songs
about scientists, Senor Tapir.
>> Well, you don't need me to
sing to you about scientists,
Ari.
You are all great scientists
yourselves.
Just look how much you learn by
listening and observing!
>> Yeah!
>> That's right!
>> Goodbye, everyone!
>> Adios, Senor Tapir.
>> And hasta luego!
>> Adios and hasta luego,
amigos!
