I have feeders outside my classroom windows ( which unfortunately I have not been able to observe for the last few weeks). My favourite birds observed there are dark-eyed juncos and white-breasted nuthatches. We also see both hairy and downey woodpeckers and my students quickly get good at telling them apart. In the ravine behind my house we have lots of red-winged blackbirds but my favourite is the male cardinal who loves to perch and sing in the tall trees.
