Can you identify 10 birds in your area? I can! If you can't, you could give it a try! David (age 10) is interested in bird watching all of a sudden.

American Robin
Blue Jay
Red Winged Blackbird
Northern Cardinal
Purple Finch
Black-Capped Chickadee
Downy Woodpecker
Red-tailed Hawk
American Goldfinch

I know some of their songs too.

Maybe these links will help you if you'd like to learn.

Also the Peterson Field Guide of Eastern Birds is a favorite at our house.
