American Tree Sparrows also have a two-toned bill, darker on the top and yellow on the bottom. You can distinguish this #sparrow from other sparrows by looking for the small dark spot on their grey chest They have a grey face with a rusty cap and line through their eye.They look similar to a Chipping Sparrow, but these sparrows will have started their migration south before the American Tree Sparrows arrive. We are able to enjoy these sparrows during the late fall and winter months. You will often see them feeding with the Juncos. You can also listen for their beautiful song which consists of several clear notes followed by a rapid warble! Do you know? Feeding American Tree Sparrows is important as they need to eat and drink 30 percent of their body weight daily. . . . . #urbannaturestore #wildbirdexpert #unsnaturestore #unsbirdlovers #wildlifephotography #birdlover #backyardbirds #birdfeeder #birds #canadianwildlife #animalonearth #treesparrow #lovesparrow #nature_sultans #sharecangeo #splendid_animals #yourstodiscover #ontariobirds #wildlife #bestsparrow @My_earth_photo #birdstufftoys #birdsinstagram @best_birds_of_world @samshappas @gingerlamore @sweetmissymiss @mostwiri_photos @janeparadis . . . ...feel free to tag your friend/s ... . .

#Canada #Goose Facts: Canada Geese mate for life, choosing their mate at 2-3 years of age. They have a #life span of 10-25 years. One who lived in captivity reached the age of 40. #Baby Geese, Goslings, are taught to swim 24 hours after being born. Goslings can dive 30-40 feet under water after a few days of learning to swim. #Goslings will follow almost anything that moves, including dogs, humans and ducks They can fly at altitudes from 2,000 to 9,000 feet.

They have about 13 different calls ranging from the ka-lunk sound you hear while in flight, down to softer sounds made while feeding. Do you know?
