Birdwatching

Listen for the sound! Depending on the kind of woodpecker, you'll hear anything from a quick, light tapping to a loud, steady drumming. Then follow it.

The Quetzal.

Pumpkin seeds or Sunflower seeds.

That would be a pelican.

Check field guide for lark bunting.

A falcon is any one of the types of hawks in the family Falconidae, and especially the ones in the genus Falco,which includes the "true" falcons such as Merlins, American Kestrels, Peregrine Falcons, Gyrfalcons and Prairie Falcons. These birds have long, pointed wings, long tails and short notched, curved bills. They are swift, powerful fliers that hunt prey for themselves. Some of them, especially the female Peregrine Falcons, are trained by falconers to hunt birds and small animals for people.

There is no nest, the immatures are aquatic. Look up tabanidae life cycle.

Very little. In the UK, from three or four pounds (say $5). It may become a fairly expensive hobby filling up the feeders as bird seed can cost about £10 for a (large) bag.

There is an embryo within the bird's reproductive track. This embryo eventually receives a tough calcium shell that hardens just before the bird is ready to lay the egg.

Check a field guide for "tufted titmouse".

A term I will use when im talking about sanding is feather-edging. Say for example you have a scratch that goes down to your primer. When sanding this out, you want to sand the whole area around it as to avoid sanding a low spot in the paint where it was at. With feather edging, you want to step out all the layers of paint, primer and anything else that is there(hopefully nothing else!) A good guide to go by when feather edging is to try to sand each layer out so you can see each individual ring of primer, paint, clear, etc... You probably wont see the actual layers of paint(say the paint had 3 layers then clear) but you will want to be able to see it all. Run your hand flat across the surface to feel if its smooth, keeping it flat will make any bumps more noticeable than running a finger over it. Note, feather-edging isn't only applied to scratches, but many other things such as rock chips, its just a term used for a sanding technique.

Most birds do IT whenever they are in the mood.

One on most birds, two on Woodpeckers, Piculets and Wrynecks.

Sparrows , song birds , Dove , Mockingbirds , Hummingbirds ,

Hmm. Sounds like it may be a warbler to me. Maybe a Yellow Warbler or a Prothonatary Warbler? It also kind of depends on where you saw it. Check in a field guide, under "warblers".

A bird does not have a part that is called a "detector beak." A bird can get diseases of the beak and early detection is the best way to combat these types of diseases, especially in pets.Ê

Captured and caged one's in Zoo's. Penguins are native to the antarctic not Canada.

The red headed woodpecker, but it also has white on the back.

The dogwood blossom.

Is this the bird?

I use this great web site to help ID some of the birds in my back yard.

I should have mentioned what I believe my bird is. I think it's a Baltimore Oriole.

if a mother or father bird does not sit on their eggs, then the eggs will have no chance of survival.

The eggs were hatched, but apparently one of the parents met up with a predator so only one raised the two babies. They were left alone all night in our near freezing temperatures.

When they left the nest they were so malnourished that they could barely flap their wings. We found one of them sprawled out on one of our bushes. My husband set it on the ground and the parent dove moved it to what he thought was a save place. Unfortunately, a cat jumped in and grabbed it before I could do anything. It was a sad day!!

eaglet- baby eagle
