    Activity 1:  where I go biking, there are two different habitats:  forested and wetlands/shorelines - and very different types of birds are found in each one.  In the wetlands/shorelines, I’ve spotted osprey, cormorants, kingfishers, herons, gulls, a great egret and common terns. In the forested area, the birds are very different. I’ve spotted American goldfinches, sparrows, and cedar waxwings.  Definitely I can see the difference in what these birds prefer in terms of habitats.

    Activity 1:  I picked the wood duck. On my first birding tour in California, this was one of the many birds I saw. It was beautiful. What is even more interesting about the wood duck is what our tour guide shared about the ducklings. They live high inside a tree and then, when ready, fall to the forest floor.  You can find many videos online of this happening. Very amazing. Activity 3:  I pick the northern cardinal. I see him all the time in my backyard (southern Ontario)  and his call is so distinct that I always look for him. The female is difficult to spot (of course) but she sometimes makes an appearance or I can hear her as well.
