1. The interactive wall is amazing. I especially like reading about the extinct birds.  I live in Canada and don't see many birds in my region on the map. 2.      a.) Woodpeckers - we get the Downy, and the Hairy coming to our backyard.  I hang a homemade bird cake in our Schubert Chokecherry tree every winter.  I've only seen the Pileated  Woodpecker in our local Provincial Park. b.) Blue Jays - I hang a peanut ring in the same tree each winter. c.)  Chickadees - Black-capped chickadee.  They are everywhere, summer and winter.  Would the chickadee belong to the subgroup Finches and Buntings OR Tree creepers? Cant say as I have seen them climbing on the trunks of trees.  May have answered my own question. 3.  Chickadees are my favorite.  They seem so happy and cheerful as indicated by their singing.    I do love the Raptors but we don't see them in the winter. These are three birds I see in the winter, along with magpies and Ravens. I live in Vermilion, Alberta Canada.   If I  was taking this course in the summer my answers would have been different.
