I think the strong flow of warm air from the gulf preceding this front that came through last night brought a lot of migrants up from the south. I'm going to put my hummer feeders out today.

Good point. We got 2" of rain yesterday. After low eighties on Wednesday the temperature dropped to 51 yesterday and I woke up to 39 degrees this morning.
It's going to be a great weekend to get out in the garden. |

You are not alone in that. I think I recognize redwing blackbirds, chickadees, nuthatches, and red-tailed hawks (thanks to a comment from bridget1964 about one of my videos way back when). ...And I can't even trust that I'm right with those.

I find it difficult to learn bird songs and calls. There are a few distictive ones that I know, and some from birds that are common here. Cardinals and Carolina chickadees are easy. Carolina wrens, especially in the spring when they start singing before daylight, is a nice alarm clock. Red-bellied woodpeckers are distinctive. I can tell when theres a mockingbird around because each call is different with several strung together. Barred owls, red-shouldered (after discovering them living here), and red-tail hawks are distictive too. So is the whip-poor-will. Pileated woodpeckers and northern flickers sound a lot alike. They make the woods sound like the tropics in mid-summer. I can't tell their songs apart though. Blue jays and red-winged blackbirds of course. Loons.
Forget about all the warblers, I just like hearing them all when they come through. |

In the yard this afternoon, Red-winged Blackbirds which is sort of odd here, robins and grackles. We checked a couple Peregrine sites. At Tillman, we saw just a Pied-billed Grebe, with of course, some Canadian Geese.

Also, you made me realize I *might* recognize a cardinal and blue jay, should recognize a Carolina wren, and definitely recognize a mockingbird. We used to have a mockingbird where I grew up that would sit atop our TV antennae and sing its heart out.

Dap, they're just odd to see in my yard but we see a lot of them in fields and marshes! I guess the yard now appears to be a field or marsh!
