Both Parents Incubate: Guillemots come to land only to breed. They establish huge breeding colonies on the rocky ledges of seaside cliffs. One or two conical eggs are laid. Both parents incubate the eggs and feed the young. When two or three weeks old, the young, still unable to fly, plunge into the sea and begin to catch fish and invertebrates.Guillemots are classified in the genera Uria and Cepphus of the auk family, Alcidae, of the order Charadriiformes.
The guacharo spends most of its life in darkness and is the only nocturnal fruit-eating bird. It has a 3-foot (90-cm) wingspread, large blue eyes, short legs, weak feet, and a strong yellow hooked bill. Its plumage is reddish brown, flecked with black and white. Long stiff bristles surround its mouth. When flying in dark caves, adult guacharos avoid obstacles by emiting audible clicks and then locating obstacles through the echoes. They build saucer-shaped nests on ledges deep in the caves, and both parents incubate the two to four white eggs. At night, flocks of guacharos emerge from the caves to feed chiefly on the oily fruits of palms and laurels.
Children learn first and foremost from their parents. In this respect all parents are teachers - and very effective teachers they are. Arguably, children learn more from their parents in the first five years of life than they do from their schools in the next ten. This book is about parents and teachers working together to help children with their learning; more specifically, it is about parents co-operating with teachers over their own children's reading. We have chosen the term PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) to embody this concept.
