Since the pandemic started our bird watching has become front and center. We added a bird bath, got rid of some grass in our lawn and planted native wild flowers and hope to plant a birch tree in the fall. We have noticed more birds in our backyard and on one of our walks, we saw a bald eagle. Gold finches love to feed on our cone flowers in the fall, late summer. This course started us on a new journey. Thanks, Cornell lab of Ornithology.

Activity 1 Our local pond has many species of birds. when walking around the pond we saw mallards, some with babies, Canadian geese, and we saw one white goose. downy woodpecker. We also saw a group of chimney swifts flying by. Our other habitat is our neighborhood. We saw European starlings - lots of them. Also we saw sparrows, robins, mourning doves, cardinals, turkey vultures and a flicker feeding on the ground.

We have a northern cardinal nesting on our front porch. We have been using the back door to get out of our house. Also, we have a pair of mourning doves nesting in a tree in our back yard. They also love perching on the front porch railing. We have a red tailed hawk living in our neighborhood now. Great to see these birds everyday. We are enjoying the course very much too!
