The Birds of Hubbard Brook (formerly called Bye Bye Birdie) is a Data Nugget made with long-term bird abundance data from the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, one of the longest bird studies ever conducted!

Developed in partnership between teachers and Michigan State University scientists, Data Nuggets are free classroom activities that give students practice interpreting quantitative information and making claims based on evidence. They are created from cutting-edge scientific research and include real, messy, scientific data. The goal of Data Nuggets is to engage students in the practices of science through an innovative approach that combines scientific content from authentic research with key concepts in quantitative reasoning.
