We're pretty close to Fish Creek so get lots of bird action. Nursed a waxwing back to health after it hit our window. Watched a Merlin take down and eat a pigeon in our back yard. See the House Finch quite often. I will look for a Tree Swallow and Kestrel. I don't recall seeing either of those yet. There's a male ring-necked pheasant that's been wintering in our yard for the past 5 years. This spring a female is hanging around with him. Wondering if we'll see chicks.

Have nothing against magpies, but they eat our dog's crap which is disgusting and messy. I can't vote for a ####eater. Chickadee's and Nuthatches are friendly. I associate Blue Jays with Toronto for obvious reasons. Northern Flickers I find very cool. Went with them.
