Journal 5 – Updated

I've been seeing a lot of Canada Geese lately, which makes sense because they usually migrate from the south to the north around springtime for breeding purposes. I've only seen them in the air, in their characteristic V-formation. I've also seen two Northern Cardinals, a Downy Woodpecker, an American Robin, a Blue Jay, and heard Mourning Doves on my walks home from school (N Prospect St).
Looking up these birds' migration patterns, I learned:
Northern Cardinals are year-round residents.
Downy Woodpeckers are year-round residents.
American Robins are year-round residents in Vermont, but those who live higher, like in Canada, migrate to the southern US in the fall for winter months.
Blue Jays are year-round residents.
Mourning Doves, similar to American Robins, are year-round residents in Vermont, but those native to Canada migrate south in for the winter.
