We Skyped with Bird Studies Canada in Ontario. The first bird was a Rudy Crowned Kinglet. It was black and gray and his head was red. It weighs 7 grams, which is as much as a loonie. The next bird was the Fox Sparrow. It has a gray head , brown wings and it is a small bird. It only 6-7 inches long. It was funny how they weighed the birds. They put the bird in a can upside down, so it wouldn’t fly away. They put the band on with the tong and then put it on their foot. The next bird was a Saw-Whet Owl. It is a tiny bird because it was a baby! The Saw-Whet Owl eats, mice birds, and other insects. The next bird is the Yellow Rumped Warbler. It was black with a yellow rump. It eats fruit and berries. It was enjoyable because we got to see the birds up close. 
Good work, Johnny! You worked hard on your post and had some good ideas. Keep working on adding more detail and descriptive language to your writing. I agree it was funny how they weighed the birds upside down. It was a special treat to see the Saw-Whet Owl! Nice job with using a font colour that was readable, great pictures, and video! Keep trying to stay focused and keep working hard! 🙂
Hi Johnny, thanks for joining us at Long Point Bird Observatory! I agree, it is special to see the birds up close, especially since all 4 birds were members of different bird families! We could compare their sizes, shapes, colors, beaks and feet to learn about the different adaptations each bird has!
