  2. In Canada that does not look like a Downy Woodpecker. Why do they call that Wood Pecker Red Bellied? He has No red on his belly?

    4. I always get that one wrong. I have never figured it out as to why it is called a Red Bellied Woodpecker & I get Hairy & Downy Woodpeckers mixed up too. I live in Canada as well & my yard is full of the Black Capped Chickadees who chat with me all the time. Really quite tame. I had a thrill this week & had a Northern Cardinal visit my yard. Gorgeous. Always have a Blue Jay who visits regularly & the beautiful little Goldfinches. A visit too from the Ruby Throated Humming Bird. A sweet little Song Sparrow is happily singing in my garden every day.

      1. I didn’t realize you were self replying, and thought ‘jeez that’s kinda harsh’, but it’s so funny seeing that it was you zinging yourself! I hope you exclaimed, ‘Oh I got you now!’ haha

  4. I’m new to CO. We live in Pine. We see hawks, mostly red-tail, eagles, woodpeckers, blue jays, owls (rarely see but do hear them), and a large variety of small birds. I’m a retired elementary teacher. One of my favorite science units was ‘Birds of Prey’. My students dissected owl pellets, and using a silhouette, glued the bones on the guide to recreate the complete skeleton. It was usually my boys who were grossed out. 🤣 I accomplished what I wanted; to get girls interested in science and feel as capable (if not more so) as boys. We still need more women in science and math fields to be great examples for each generation coming. Happy Earth Day!

  19. I did pretty well, considering I live in Australia! Got most of them right. And the so-called common names are often, of course, some naturalist’s idea of what they SHOULD be called, to the detriment of what people actually call them.
