2 Chipping sparrow Spizella passerina

3 American Goldfinch Spinus tristis

4 Northern Flicker Colaptes auratus

5 Canada Goose Branta canadensis

I never knew until now that, in Quebec, Canada Goose is called outarde, which, in France, refers to bustard (Otidae). Just another example of an Old World name applied to an unrelated species in the New World, e.g., buzzard, hawk, warbler, bunting, sparrow, blackbird, oriole.
