  2. I agree with you about the cheap bird seed. It has so much filler in it that the birds won’t eat almost any of it. Plus, it really doesn’t pay to buy it because it’s waisted and takes more bought seed to really feed them. I hope to learn more about identifying birds. Thank you.

  6. This was a very biased quiz. Each example was a common bird distributed widely over EASTERN North America. A more fair quiz might have included some common WESTERN species e.g., Black Billed Magpie, Steller’s Jay, Tricolored Blackbird, Acorn Woodpecker, Western Grebe (admittedly, not a back yard bird, but easy to spot and identify [unless it might be a Clark’s Grebe] when one is in the right habitat at the right time), Oak Titmouse, Pyrrhuloxia, Lesser Goldfinch, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Verdin, or Cactus Wren.

    My mother was a long time editor of _The Chat_ with publications in _Auk_ and _Condor._ Now, have the Leica 7x42s I gave her fifty years ago. The are my binocular of choice when I do not feel like lugging my Leica 8x50s around.

  7. My father was an ornithologist (when it wasn’t popular to be one LOL.) I grew up listening to records of bird calls and then there were phone calls to my dad, who was on a “hotline” for bird sightings. Our family went to Point Pelee every year for the migration and I was happier chasing some “lifetime” bird than looking at it. My dad passed away when he was 68. I’m now 74 and I wish I had had an interest in his passion when I was young. Some things I learned through osmosis (so it seems) but I could have learned so much. My dad did get many people on our street interested in birds. He also led many bird walks and was always involved in the bird census. Thanks for your passion

  8. I recently experienced what the wildlife birds go through when a neighbor cut down the trees on his property for development without a permit. I have many feeders in my yard and all the birds came my way vocally stressed and confused, baby birds roosting under the overhang of my roof, not knowing where to go now that their homes have been destroyed. This is really sad and all I can do is try to make them comfortable. the best way I can. Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Jeanette

  10. Ah, the downy woodpecker tripped me up! I finally picked hairy woodpecker because I thought his beak looked too long to be a downy. 🙁

  11. I couldn’t believe I had 2 wrong both times, but it looks like they may have been 2 different answers
    On 2 different quizzes, but I’m not sure. Anyway, I enjoyed doing it. (:
