Your most-viewed bird, with the most 'likes,' was the Scarlet Tanager. Your other favourite birds were: Bay-breasted Warbler; Rose-breasted Grosbeak; Red-headed Woodpecker; and Yellow-rumped Warbler. Do you agree with this list? #SpringIsHere

Barn Swallows have a long-standing relationship with humans, as they often create their nests on human-made structures. It's a wonderful symbiotic relationship as Barn Swallows can eat up to 1,000 insects a day. #SpringIsHere
