I sure didn't know that hummingbirds had forked tongues! That was quite a surprise! This course also inspired me to draw a hummingbird and I really loved how it turned out. Amazing course, thank you so much, Cornell!
-
It was surprising to find out that they also eat insects! However, how do they avoid predation while they are in torpor?
-
I've only seen three or four hummingbirds in my life. They have all been Ruby-throated Hummingbirds but seeing them is still amazing!
-
Wow, great job!
-
Wow, beautiful! Great job in making this!

Easier, because they have many more choices than other birds.

Once, we were birdwatching a Red-Tailed Hawk during Feederwatch last year and three crows flew by. One went right into some willow trees where many other birds nest, and, a couple seconds later, flew out with 15-30 other birds on his tail(almost litterally!). Then, the other two flew into the willows and one perched on the top, apparently on lookout. Then, after a short amount of time, they switched and then flew away. We think("we" as in me and my family) that they made a plan for it!

Amazing lifespan!

I, sadly, was not able to naturescape. :( also I love surveys but cannot do it because I am under 18 :( Also, I forgot to answer on the last "Reflect, Connect, and Practice" section, and it won't let me go back :( please respond.

I can't place any trees or plants because of the house I live in, we only one the house and a small amount of plants and feeders in our backyard. I like everyones storys, though!

My yard was all the above exept water. Birds love our yard, and American Robins nest on our balcony yearly. It's been like that for as long as I can remember.
-
Those are great ideas, and your lawn looks great! Keep up the ideas!
-
In my tiny outdoor space I enjoy seeing American Robins hop, swallows dive, Thrushes sing, and the usually annoying squirrels run around. I still want to make everything squirrel proof, though.

These are my answers for questions 1 and 2: 1. I would tell my neighbor that crows are at the bottom of the scale for eating songbird chicks. I would let him/her know that snakes, squirrels and chipmunks all eat more songbird chicks than crows do. 2. I have seen them only at my house scavenging the leftover birdseed and planning to get nestlings. For me, I find that smart, even though they have never succeeded, but, they have gotten very close to doing it.

I loved the "who cooks for you!" and the "find the hidden owl". Those are great!
-
The part about owls eating birds is sorta sad. But, animals do what they must to survive.
-
I have seen one owl in real life before. It was an eastern screech owl, and I think they are very cute! It has been featured in this course so far, and the picture was ADORABLE. It was also asleep.

Activity 1 (1). I visit my feeders and I see Red-Winged Blackbirds, Cardinals, Black Capped Chickadees, Red and White Breasted Nuthatches, and I can't even get to naming them all! (2). We have a marsh near our house and it has Mallards, Canada Geese, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Common Grackles, Goldfinches, American Robins, European Starlings, and more!!! (Plus some Kingfishers...)

@Rylan I dunno

I think this guy/girl is very cute. Do you agree?
Here is my reason: He/she is all puffed up, looking at the camera, and half-spreading his/her wings. Look it his/her ADORABLE CUTE SMALL BEAK!!! Also, he/she is a juvenile.
