http://www.whatbird.com/forums/photos/my_backyard/default.aspxBirds that have visited our backyard in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada a town of 75,000 and rapidly growing. Lot's of construction so I guess the birds are being driven out by development. We have one large Elm Tree in our rather ordinary sized yard. So far I have had these visitors as best as I can identify. If you can correct any of my pictured, please let me know.
