a neat bird website...

My good friend Timothy, gave me the link for this website. There are lots of neat bird videos and other information. I even found a video of a red-crested pochard and one of a white-breasted nuthatch.

the nature reserve...

Last saturday we went to a nature reserve. We saw a lot of birds like american coots, tundra swans, canada geese and on the way out we saw a perigrine falcon. We got 2 pictures of an american bittern.
Here are the pictures of the Bittern...

The Great Backyard Bird count

Calling all birdwatchers, grab your notebook and binoculars and lets watch some birds! This weekend is the Great backyard birdcount and it's gonna be fun! You can find out more information here. There is a checklist for birds you might see in your area, a neat page full of games and stuff for kids and all sorts of neato stuff. There's even a participation certificate you can print out.
