This video can quickly help you identify your common backyard birds throughout southern Ontario Canada. This is part 1 of a short video series on wild birds. Throughout Ontario, I see a variety of wild birds in my backyard, in forests, ponds, and lakes. I compiled this set of videos to showcase some of the common wild birds that I have found over the past couple of years as a hobbyist bird watcher. Birds come in many various shapes, colours and sizes, ranging from small to large. Songbirds can be noisy when they are calling out to each other and singing their songs. I added the names of these wild birds into the video, so you can quickly watch the video and find the names of these birds and if they are in your area you can use this video to assist you in spotting them in your area. I currently use my Olympus DSLR camera with a 300mm lens, with the camera I can get close-up photos and videos of wild birds.
This video includes a whole bunch of birds such as American Goldfinches, Blue Jays, and Male and Female Northern Cardinals, Black-capped Chickadees, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Downy Woodpeckers and House Sparrows, Killdeers, Mourning Doves, Baltimore Orioles, and Red-winged Blackbirds, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, White-breasted Nuthatches, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and Belted Kingfishers.
The American Goldfinch is a small yellow and black bird with white on its wings. When the American Goldfinches come to my yard I often see them eating sunflower seeds and eat Thistle seed from my bird feeders.
Blue Jays will eat from my bird feeders but more commonly they eat from the seeds that had fallen onto the ground. Blue Jays will quickly peck around in the grass and eat what is on the ground.
Northern Cardinals make a loud high pitched chirping sound. Northern Cardinals stay in my yard year-round. Male Northern Cardinals have bright red-colored feathers and have a black-colored face and a red-orange bill.
The Black-capped Chickadee is a very small and energetic bird. Chickadees will grab one sunflower seed at a time and either go into the bushes close by or back in the trees and spend a few minutes breaking the shell of the sunflower seed and then it will come back for more.
Both male and female Brown-headed Cowbirds make a variety of whistles, clicking, and chattering calls. Cowbirds are considered brood parasites.
The Downy Woodpeckers in my backyard come by to eat at my feeders. Downy Woodpeckers are small and have a short bill, and they have white feathers on their front, with black and white spots on their back feathers.
House Sparrows come by my feeders every day, constantly searching for food. I provide them lots of seeds at my feeders, but they often eat too much and there is little left for other birds.
Killdeers produce a loud high-pitched sound and a sharp dee that can intensify into a nervous, bubbling trill. It is cute to see the Killdeer bobbing their heads up and down as they were walking.
Mourning Doves make their coo sound by puffing up their throats and chest and then the sound comes out of their nostrils. When Mourning Doves come to my backyard, they will often sit on tree branches, fence posts, and in the grass for long periods of time.
In the summertime, I get a couple of families of Baltimore Orioles that come to my yard. Baltimore Orioles enjoy the grape jelly and the sugar water I have in the feeders.
Male Red-winged Blackbirds have dark black feathers, with red and yellow on their shoulders. Red-winged blackbirds are energetic and make a lot of noise, chirping and calling the other birds.
The Rose-breasted Grosbeaks come and go every few days in the springtime to peck and eat from my sunflower feeder.
White-breasted Nuthatches can walk up and down the sides of trees and bird feeders upside down. Nuthatches have a lot of energy and are quite fast. Nuthatches love to eat from my peanut feeder and sunflower feeder.
Red-bellied Woodpeckers are medium-sized birds. Red-bellied Woodpeckers have black and white stripes on their back, a pale white belly, and a red patch on the top of their head.
Belted Kingfishers are very energetic and quick, they make their loud bird call while flying back and forth from tree to tree. Belted Kingfishers have blue-gray feathers, white on their underparts and belly, along with a blue band on their breast.
