Hi I'm new to the forum, I'm from Canada and I would like to say that it's wounderful that march is here. I'm looking forward to the migration of the tundra swans, red wing black birds and of course the robins as well as many other feathered friends.  I've been birding seriously for 5 years, but have always been interested in them.  For the last year or so I have been taking the bird biology course for cornell. Looking forward to learning much from all you.

Again, welcome!  Do you like the Cornell course?  I have made one trip to Canada and that was a very short trip from Niagara to Chicago with my grandparents when I was a kid, and I didn't pay much attenention to birds back then.  What birds do you have there right now?  See ya on the boards!

The cornell course is very interesting it really helps you apreaciate how amazing our flying machines are from the diversity through out the world, to the structural make up of the feathers alowing a variety of colors, even the bone structure, for instance the bone many people know of and make wishes from the "wish" bone is thought to help with breathing while a bird is in fight simply amazing I say.  The course is very deep and for me it takes a while to get it in the brain, but it's fun anyway.   Right now March the 8th, their has been a number of migrants that have shown up Grackles, Robins, Red winged black birds, Tundra swans as well as some Gulls but I have yet to learn the many different speices. The snow birds are now leaving and the horned larks are not as abundant as they use to be.  Exciting times ahead I say.
