Great course that has made bird-watching even more pleasurable and fun. Wish I had done this a long time ago and now it has become a firm hobby favourite.

1. Duck and cormorant. Cormorant, - upright posture when on land. Longer neck and longer thin bill. Smaller head. 2. Song sparrow, field sparrow and house sparrow. I find the sparrows hard to identify but the app made it much easier plus having photos to refer to.
3. Red-winged blackbird, - foraging on the ground. Mallard duck feeding in water. Tree swallow feeding in flight.
4. Red-tailed hawk. Large, rounded wings and tail. Red tail. Gliding, soaring in circles. Common in Toronto and resident all year. -
I live in Toronto. We have some great green spaces which attract many species of birds. My favourite is the red-tailed hawk which I enjoy watching in flight, - great at soaring. It is rare for me to go out for a run and not see one or two or more. They often land on the buildings in the downtown core and they regularly spook the pigeons.
