Get to know some of the more common birds that live in your backyard: - Brown Creeper: these little birds are a bit tricky to see. They climb up tree trunks, where their brown feathers blend in with the colour of the bark. - Bohemian Waxwing: In winter, watch for large flocks of these birds hopping around in the trees, eating berries. - Merlin: Don't be fooled by its small size. The Merlin is a fierce predator that attacks smaller birds as they are flying and snatches them from the air.

Get to know some of the more common birds that live in the mountains: - American Dipper: the American Dipper walks underwater along the bottom of cold mountain streams to find its prey. - Golden Eagle: these big eagles will snatch mountain goat lambs off the sides of mountains. - White-tailed Ptarmigan: its feet are covered with feathers, which act like snowshoes so the bird can walk on deep snow.

Get to know some of the more common birds that live in the forest: - Northern Goshawk: this hawk eats squirrels, hares and other birds like woodpeckers, grouse and Blue Jays. - Great Horned Owl: Great Horned Owls usually hunt at night but in winter will sometimes hunt during the day. The best time to see them is at dusk. - Downy Woodpecker: this little woodpecker has feathered nostrils so it doesn't get sawdust in its nose when it is pecking wood.
