Have 7 bluebird houses currently all occupied. 2 Owl houses so far no screech owls but I hear them in the woods along with my resident hoot owl family, the largest about 15 inches tall. Always have hawks sitting in the trees along the fields waiting for the mice and voles to show their nasty head. Have a wren currently sitting on 5 eggs in one of the small gourds I put in the little greenhouse for them over the winter. Lots of cardinals and every other song bird. Got a mockingbird nesting someplace. Yellowhammers in the field beside me. A covey of Bob White Quail I see in the woods behind me sometimes. Had a couple of Canada Geese in the pond awhile back. Also have a Kingfisher that hits the pond in the afternoon, have to chase off a great blue heron every couple of days and sometimes have a green heron at the pond and last but not least Charlie Chaplin The cockatiel that I bought my wife before we got married almost 17 years ago that is still talking away and whistlin Anchors Away I came back from 6 months at sea before I retired to listen to that!

This is a warbler-smaller than a sparrow but try BirdJam (just Google it) & see if Black Throated Green Warbler might be it. It supposedly sounds like zee-zee-zee-zoo-zee or see-see-see-say-see. I can't think of anything else with that cadence. BirdJam is helpful but after I listen to a few I get mixed up. Susan

Thank you so much TMFF! Unfortunately this bird was there for only a split second before it took off so I didn't have time to observe any of its behavior. It was also photographed through a very thick window so I didn't hear any vocalizing. There HAS been some bird in the area recently calling over and over again...sounds a little like "Kerry, Kerry..." or "keeery, keeery" but maybe what I'm hearing is "phoe-be?" and maybe it's him! (Her?) hmm... here is the only other photo I got of it. I wasnÃ¢ÂÂt going to post it because the resolution is so poor but maybe it will still be informative in some way!

I got my martin scouts on Feb 29, think we already have eggs in the nests (we have about 50 pair and the neighbor has about 60). My neighbor saw an Indigo Bunting and we should be getting grosbeaks soon. I saw my first hummingbird yesterday. In fact, he tapped on the window to let me know there was no feeder....the little ones do that every year. They let me know when the feeders
