I hear them several of them around 5:30 every morning,, to dark to see anything but they sing me awake everyday


Thanks Sheri

do yours sing 1 at a time or together. Do you think this one was here all the time but not singing. I think I would have heard him.

Girl I hear several of them,, Sometimes it all goes quiet but not for long,, it's like they all finished took a breath then one starts the others start and it starts all over again,, also Finches come out and sing too around 6-6:30

I see now that you said "several". Reading too quickly. I heard the one that Lizzy killed, who I think sang all day long. He was singing when I left for work and when I came home. I never saw him leave his wire but then he was gone and Lizzy came dragging up a dead bird. I figured it was him. Maybe I'm wrong and he just moved to the front. But I still just have one singing all the time.

doesn't this bird look mean

mean or mad one!

She one hot Mama!

I'd already seen a couple of guys like this at my mom's, but today was the first at my place. It wasn't a great photo day being foggy and rainy.

rose-breasted Grosbeak

These were actually from yesterday.


Feeding time!

Also yesterday, I witnessed a pair of hummingbirds makin' babies! No time to grab my camera, they're quicker'n rabbits! I wish I could find their nest.

The Blue Bird picture is FABULOUS!!!!

RUN FORREST RUN....

Love your caption

iggygal that's perfect.

That rosebreast is so gorgeous.

bluebirds. Mine just flew away.

is this a little wren? He's got a nest in my barn.

what the heck is this one

Sheri, that IS a Wren; a Carolina Wren. Angelblossom, your bird is a Song Sparrow.

Can someone give me an ID on this bird? I saw two different yellow ones today. The other one I couldn't get a picture of, but it was a bit more stout and plump brownish gray and muted yellow on the underbody.

I BELIEVE that is a female Scarlet Tanager as best I can tell from the picture.

I thought it was a yellow warbler. He/she would not stay still long enough for me to get a better shot.

It could also be a Prothonotary Warbler.

I read that they are only 1 of 2 types of warblers that nest in cavities. Very pretty bird.

Yellow Warblers don't have dark wings. They are SOLID yellow all over, like a canary. They also have red streaks on the breast. Prothonotary Warblers are ONE of the Cavity nesting Warblers. Prothonotarys are ALWAYS found within 50 - 100 feet of water especially heavily wooded water. They are one of my favoroite Warblers. They are INCREDIBLY pretty. Their song is, "SWEET! SWEET! SWEET! SWEET!" They are inquisitive and friendly and don't have much fear of man. Here is the underside of a Prothonotary I took almost 3 years ago.
