Mostly the usual backyard songbirds: cardinals, blue jays, robins, chickadees, etc. (White-breasted nuthatches are very chatty!) but also Pileated Woodpeckers, which I haven’t seen yet, Cooper’s Hawks, a ton on warblers in the spring, and a Snow Goose, flying overhead I would guess. It’s fun to see what’s in or near your yard, but frustrating to never see them.
There are a lot of tall oaks and squirrels in my yard. I’ve see hawks too!
You can set up a raspberry pi and microphone to listen for and identify birds in your yard. Here is a website that explains how to do it: https://becausebirds.com/fun-raspberry-pi-project-identify-backyard-birds-24-7/
I used to have Great Horned Owls by me (in the suburbs!). I would hear them in the evening and early morning, but I haven’t for the past couple years. Apparently, they nest early, like February? Maybe I’ll hear some this year or the raspberry pi will pick them up.
These are great photos! I love Saw-Whets. 🥰
I love this! ❤️
Blue Jays are like a gang in my yard. I love them, but they like to scare the other birds away from the feeders and then throw a bunch of seed on the ground looking for the right one. Sigh.
Both are good, but I like red ones best.
Amazing work. Glad to see this screechie had a happy outcome!
I went back and watched it. I love when it was clicking its beak together trying to be fierce!
Nice article. Cute and sneaky! I’d love to see one someday.
Stories like this are a nice reminder that there are still things left to be discovered in this world.
Flickers are really cool! I see them fairly regularly. In the summer they eat ants off the sidewalk!
