I’m not a bird watcher, but regularly see cardinals, blue jays, red tailed hawks, what I think is a mockingbird. The other day saw some carrion vultures dealing with roadkill.
I’m definitely appreciate the birdsongs. |

| All of those, plus finches, wrens, crows, plus we’ve had the occasional blue bird, hummingbird, woodpecker, bald eagles in our yard. I love bird watching. |

| I saw a blue jay the other day. It was my first blue jay sighting. I was very excited. Normally see robins. |

| The grackles have invaded. We used to get a huge variety but they have taken over the feeder and the suet. |

| We have a popular bird feeder. We get cardinals, house finches, gold finches, catbirds, junco, chickadee, woodpeckers, doves, and bluejays. A few seem to be pairs which is fun. They are so greedy though: the feeder empties in days. |

Most common:
Cardinals Mourning doves Blue jays Robins Crows House finches (or are they house wrens?) And a small black bird - maybe starling? |

At the feeder and around the yard:
Cardinals Mourning doves Grackles Blue jays Crows Red bellied woodpecker Red headed woodpecker Nuthatch Sparrows Goldfinches Cowbirds Chickadees Catbirds Robins Mockingbirds Flickers Dark eyed juncos Red-winged blackbirds (rarely) Rose breasted grosbeak in spring Towhee Carolina wren Ruby-crowned kinglet Hawks Turkey vultures I once sadly saw what must have been an escaped blue budgerigar at the feeder. He hung around for a couple of days but we could never get near him and he then disappeared. |

| Today we watched a territorial battle between 2 catbirds and a crow. The cat birds kept dive bombing the crow. It was so cool to watch. |

Our blue jays chase off the crows regularly. So funny to see the giant birds chased off. |
