Common birds: robin, blue jay, starling, red-wing blackbird (male), cardinal (pair), house sparrow, downy woodpecker, mourning dove
A journal of backyard bird sightings based in Ontario, Canada. I read somewhere that most people can recognize dozens of companies' logos, but can only name a few types of local birds. In the spring of 2011, I began watching the migrating warblers and other birds from my window. This led me to ask how many bird species - and which ones - I see in a year.
