Citizen science is a great way to involve children and adults in discovery and contribute to scientific research and conservation. Project FeederWatch through Cornell University is a great way to get involved in citizen science. You can learn more at the Project FeederWatch website.

I typically watch birds on Saturday and Sunday. This is my report for 20-21 March 2021.

The downy woodpecker isthe smallest woodpecker in north america. Binominal name-Dryobates pubescens. Very beautiful looking bird. Common grackle- scientific name- quiscalus quiscula. This is comparatively big bird than downy woodpecker. Your canon eos 7d is a nice machine with the lens you used. I also think that people’s need to involve in different science project.

Wow Downy Woodpeckers is common to me, I have seen this bird in Bangladesh. There is a loudly sound when they cut the wood. Very nice to see this bird!

No idea about Common Grackle, looks like I have seen this.
Really it’s a very useful information about bird that you provided all time, people can understand easily their habitat. Wonderful photographs! Enjoyed your post.

Yes, woodpeckers can be very loud in terms of their calls and depending on what type of wood they are working on.

Have a great day!!
Steem on!
Mike

Yes, absolutely right it depends on what types of woods, I think they can cut any types of wood , is it right?
Have a great day too!
