Wild Birds I See Occasionally In Ontario, Canada - Part 1 - Bird Sounds and Calls

When I go for a nature walk, I see a variety of birds. Birds that I see range from commonly seen birds and rarer birds that I have never seen before. Some of these birds are only in my area during certain months of the year, as the temperature gets colder and hotter in the change of weather seasons. All of these birds in this video are found in Ontario, Canada. Some of these birds I see year-round, and some I see fewer of throughout the year or none at all.

Birds found in this video include Turkey Vultures, Orchard Orioles, a Horned Grebe, Spotted Sandpipers, Killdeers, a Great Blue Heron, Gray Catbirds, a Carolina Wren, and a Coopers Hawk.

Turkey Vultures are one of the more common birds I see when I am in nature. This Turkey Vulture briefly tried to attack a Canada Goose after it was hovering around, soon to be attacked by other flying birds. Turkey Vultures are large dark black and brown colored birds with long wings with a featherless redhead.

In my backyard up in a tree, I had a couple of Orchard Orioles. The Orchard Orioles had come to my backyard feeders to find grape jelly I left out for them. I often get Baltimore Orioles that eat from my feeder but this was the first time I had seen Orchard Orioles in my yard. The first Orchard Oriole in this video has yellow feathers and a black colored throat. The adult male Orchard Oriole has a black colored head and has a Reddish-chestnut colored chest.

The next bird in this video is a Horned Grebe. I found it swimming very slowly on its own in the water. This Horned Grebe appears to be a non-breeding adult. The Horned Grebe is mostly grey colored with a black colored head and white-colored cheeks.

The fourth bird in this video is a Spotted Sandpiper. I found the Sandpipers in a muddy pond near a construction site. When the Spotted Sandpiper walks around it is seen bobbing its head. Spotted Sandpipers have dark spots on their white breast and have an orange-colored bill. The back feathers are dark brown colored.

The next wild bird that I had found is Killdeers. I often find them in muddy areas near ponds. This year I found a whole bunch of Killdeers. These Killdeers were walking back and forth around the pond making loud noises from their bird calls. Killdeers are very energetic and will defend their territory. Killdeers have brownish-tan colored feathers on top and a white-colored chest. Killdeers also have black colored bands on their chest and black and white patches on their feathers.

At a lake, standing on rocks, I found a Great Blue Heron. This Great Blue Heron did not move and was observing its surroundings. Great Blue Herons have long legs. Great Blue Heron are blue-gray colored and have a wide black stripe over the eye.

Returning to my backyard, I found a Gray Catbird. Gray Catbirds seem to enjoy the grape jelly that I left on the bird feeder. This was the first time I had seen a Gray Catbird in my backyard. Gray Catbirds feathers are mostly gray with a black colored crown and have cinnamon-colored feathers under feathers.

The eighth wild bird in this video is of a Carolina Wren. I sometimes hear them calling in my backyard but cannot find where they are. Carolina Wrens have bright reddish-brown colored feathers on their back with orange feathers below on their chest.

The ninth bird in this video is of a hawk. I am unsure if it is a Sharp-shinned hawk or a Coopers Hawk. I often see hawks circling the sky, but I never see them land in my backyard. There was a blue jay in the video alerting other birds that the Hawk was in the area. This Hawk has a long tail, brown and white colored feathers, and brown colored stripes on its chest.

The final bird in this video is a Cedar Waxwing. Same as other birds this was the first time I had seen a Cedar Waxwing in my backyard, they seem to be uncommon in my area. This Cedar waxwing was perching on a bare twig on a tree in my backyard. Cedar Waxwings have pale brown feathers on their head and chest, with fading feathers to soft gray on the wings. Cedar Waxwings also have a black colored stripe around its eyes on its head.
