Activity 3: I explored the bar charts on eBird and not only did I learn about birds I didn't know passed through my area, I learned some birds I didn't even know existed! Some I would be excited to see are: the Barnacle Goose, Gadwalls, Canvasbacks, Red-necked grebes, and gallinules. I'm excited to keep exploring the lake by my home and see more of these birds!
My favorite birds are anything found near the water! Though the ruddy ducks have recently migrated away from my area, I loved getting the chance to see them in their breeding colors. Other favorites are Great Blue Herons, and recently I've been spotting a Kingfisher nearby... though I've yet to see it go fishing! Maybe someday :)
