About this word search

The Robin is often the first bird people notice when spring arrives, while the Chickadee stays all winter and calls its own name from the feeder. The Canada goose flies south in a V each fall, although plenty now spend the cold months in city parks. That mix makes this a good list to keep for a backyard bird count, ticking off each bird you actually see.

Lines in this grid run across, down and diagonally, but no word is reversed. Canada goose is written as one string of letters without a space. Owl, Crow and Duck are short enough to hide inside longer words, so check them carefully once the others are done.
