Glad I was able to help. Come back often! (Windsor was the first Canadian city I visited…crossing over from Detroit on a family vacation eons ago.)

So glad I found your posting. I wondered what those little birds in my back garden were. I live in Windsor- Canada’s most Southern city and they stopped to feed just hours befoe our first big snowfall was scheduled to hit.

I thinking watching the birds is one of the rewards of gardening. I did not know anything about birds before I started gardening. I’ve only gone on one actual bird walk, years ago, but have learned so much just in my own yard. I love observing their behavior and learning more from the Stokes, Sibley and Peterson books and the Cornell Web site on ornithology (www.birds.cornell.edu). They are amazing creatures. Did you know you can see their breath when they exhale on really cold winter days?

I wish I knew more about birds! I believe I get quite a few juncoes visiting my feeder in the winter time.
