I am not an expert but I do enjoy birding. I grew up in Northwest Ohio and never had any idea of the opportunities I could have seeing birds in their migrations. After this course, one activity I have tried to to engage in is watching what birds I can see from my back porch on the 2nd floor of my house/ I have been delighted with watching a variety of species and observing the birds' behavior. Now, as I drive hinder and yon I watch for birds within my city and suburbs.

I had the opportunity of spending time in Lancaster, Ohio for several years taking care of a relative. I would notice crow roost in the late fall and winter. What I noticed that the crows would not roost in the same place each night. One night they were on one side of the "mountain" in Rising Park and then on the other side the next night. The crows would move to other places every night. In Toledo, in my neighborhood, there are crows but I have not noticed the crows roosting in large groups.

I did practice many times using the identification quizzes. Sometimes, the beaks were what help me id the crow or raven. I have seen enough red-winged blackbirds, grackles, and cowbirds it is not too difficult to distinguish between them. But now that I have stated this I'll be eating "crow."
