Jennifer: Great shots! You have a great assortment of birds way up there in Canada and you have some of the same ones that are year round residents here in Florida! I love the shot of the Blue Jays, their color looks so vivid! And the two baby European Starlings? crying to be fed by their parent is adorable! I know those Starlings are despised by many but they sure are pretty ... I've only seen them down here a couple of times over the years. Those finches are pretty too and I always look forward to migration when we see the Cedar Waxwings ... wish they could stay here longer.

I spend a small fortune on bird seed and find different birds prefer it in different places. I love all the birds! Even the sparrows and starlings. I know some people try to keep the common birds away but I think they give notice to other passing birds that food is available and besides, ya got yer birds, ya got yer birds! It is very hard to segregate them!
