While doing research on the Baltimore Oriole, Teressa Flinn, 11, learned that the state bird of Maryland likes oranges.
Heather Stearns, 10, learned that a great blue heron has very long legs -- and not all of them are blue. Some are white.
Both Teressa and Heather are fifth-graders at Hampstead Elementary School.
The two students, along with their fellow fifth-grade classmates, were assigned a different Maryland animal to research, and then sketch, for a mural the school is creating entitled, "Our Yard to the Bay in Clay."
"Each (student) had an assignment," said Barbara Hammond, art teacher at Hampstead Elementary. "They really did the research and the sketch. It is very individualized."
Every grade at Hampstead Elementary has contributed to the mural.
