The biggest change I have noticed is the number of birds that remained in my area this winter.  Cedar waxwings, Goldfinches and even Bluebirds stayed through the winter, something I haven't seen before.  Here is a photo of the bluebird I saw on my deck in December this past winter.

I learned many interesting facts about various birds during these lessons, such as how several have lost their ability to fly.  I found the discussion on how to use different bird guides especially helpful.  I am fortunate to be in the countryside  in western New Hampshire where I can take walks through wooded areas and discovered multiple warblers migrating through.  I was excited to identify this Cape May Warbler this morning after seeing it in some marshy brush just up my road yesterday.
