Activity #2: Through my new love of birding, I discovered a nursery near me that sells native plants to Eastern Ontario. I am actively reducing the amount of non native plants on my property and replacing them with native ones. The ones that interest me the most are the berry bushes. They provide flowers in the spring and berries in the fall and winter. I'm also investing in window decals for my house to prevent bird strikes.

Activity #1: My first birding spot is a second growth young mixed deciduous forest in Eastern Ontario. I see lots of woodpeckers. We have downy woodpeckers, hairy woodpeckers, red bellied woodpeckers, norther flickers and pileated woodpeckers. My second birding spot is a wet land surrounded by old growth mixed forest with lots of birds that I'm not familiar with yet. I do hear lots of Canada Geese and red-winged blackbirds there.

Activity #3: I saw a Downy Woodpecker hopping up a tree storing seeds from my feeder. I saw an American Robin hopping on the ground looking for food. I saw a Tree Sparrow at the feeder eating seeds.

Lesson 3 I don't have a favourite bird but I am very excited to see the Robin's return here in Eastern Ontario. It means that spring is arriving and it's my favourite time of the year.
