Being in Southern Ontario, thinking back as to why I know what a robin is, it's as a child talking with my mother while she's pulling out of the driveway & I'm wondering about the birds that hop everywhere. If my parents didn't know some bird types I wouldn't've picked it up Meanwhile I wasn't so confident about sparrows, they're less distinctive so weren't discussed. & similarly I didn't show interest in flowers so the other day I wasn't able to name hydragenias
