[mou] My Spring Birds

[Laurie Richard]

Thought I should give my backyard birding list now just in case I have a
bird or two that is an odd find.  First off I am not a professional and I
rely heavily on my birding books to identify most birds....lol!!

1.   Junco's.....slate colored...which have disappeared as of late.  Have
not seen one for a few weeks.
2.   Blue Jays
3.   Gray Catbird....2 of these appeared yesterday and today
4.   Indigo Buntings....4 or so appeared at my feeders this weekend.  I
thought they were mountain bluebirds at first and then I thought they were
blue buntings.  Ha!!  Until the blue bird with the brown
                               wing showed up then i knew what i had.
5.   Cardinals...both male and female.
6.   Warbler...Yellow Rumped.
7.   Rose Breasted Grosbeak
8.   American Goldfinches
9.   House Finches
10. Pileated Woodpecker.....haven't seen one for awhile but occasionally one
shows up.
11. Sparrows....not sure which ones yet.
12. Black Capped Chickadees
14. Baltimore Oriole
15. Red Bellied Woodpecker
16. Downy Woodpecker
17. Hairy Woodpecker
18. Robins
19. Saw a Hummingbird fly through my yard the other day and I hung up a
feeder but haven't seen it back again.

I love watching the birds visiting the feeders and its awesome and colorful
when i have red, yellow and now blue birds at my feeders.  The chickadees
are fairly tame and will land in a feeder or tree right next to me if i am
in the yard working.
Thanks
