flocks of birds are here!
Comments (6)I have a large number of goldfinch again this year, and I do so love to watch them. My other winter visitors include a pair of ruby-crowned kinglets (I have had a pair of them for the past three winters), both white crowned and Harris sparrows, junkos and some I am not sure of. My normal "supply" of birds has not dimished so I am feeding over sixty pounds of bird seed a month plus nijer seeds for the goldfinch....See MoreI have a Flock of Cedar Waxwings!!!
Comments (8)Fantastic photos of the bluebirds and waxwings together. That is luck to see them together, let alone get a good photo. We have waxwings here all summer, but so often they are high up in trees, most people don't notice them. They like black cherries, and when i canoe the river i see them flycatching alot. And congrats newyorkrita on your bird garden paying off. Glad the Wentworths were well used, so many people report birds not touching the highbush cranberries. I saw cardinals picking at them once, but i think they were only after the pits inside. I may have to think about planting a Cardinal Candy viburnum. Winterberries - ive never had those last late in the year. I had a robin that would camp out until they were all gone, in December....See MoreLoud Nocturnal Bird
Comments (52)Well, at least some of what I heard appears to be a couple of Night Herons as I finally saw one while making the call. It looked like a Yellow-Crowned Night Heron as I thought I saw a strong black and white pattern on it's face, but it was low light so I could have been mistaken. It and it's partner both took off almost as soon as I saw them too, so I only got a fleeting glimpse of them. Strange though, the call was much more repetitious than what I read or heard online. It also was lower than most of the calls I listened to online. I also don't know what they're doing up in tall trees most of the night instead of down by some body of water hunting. Maybe it's something about the environment around here in my part of eastern Kansas? LOL We do have a lot of Seagulls but they're almost always flying up high at between about 200' to 500' zig-zagging around non-stop all day it seems. The only time I see them down on the ground is in or near 1 of the large reservoirs here in Kansas, but those are some 75 to 100 miles from my place....See MoreLoud birds that call in the dark
Comments (10)Just talked to my neighbor. He heard it at 3 a.m. when he got home from work, so it was definitely a screech owl. They aren't as scary sounding as barn owls, though. OMG! My grandma had one in her barn, and it used to scare the beejeezus out of me when I was little. But the animal sound that scared me the most when I was little was a wildcat. If you've never heard one, they sound like a baby crying. When I was probably about 3 or 4, I heard one at my grandmother's house and I was begging my mother to go out and find the baby that was crying. She kept telling me it was a wildcat, but I was crying hysterically, swearing there was a baby out there. Give it a listen....See More- 14 years ago
