Feathered Friend's

[Laura]

Must go out & feed the lil feathered friend's. Not too many of them around today. Disturbed

[Laura]

Got them fed yesterday..& they seemed to flock out there after doing so. They emptied the Peanut Butter feeder.

[fifi2]

we already have robins here in viginia. just waiting for spring

[gramar2]

Hi fifi2, do you have the red breasted kind of robin or the all brown kind like they have in Georgia, or both?
I haven't seen any here in Iowa yet, but they are probably around. More will come soon.

[douglas]

No robins here in Michigan as of yet, but I noticed a few doves singing away in the mornings

[Laura]

No Robin's or Red winged black bird's here yet.

[jeanette]

the bald eagles are here and the swans, i heard an oriole in the trees...

[Laura]

Disturbed Today our newest visitor to the feeder was a HAWK. Scared off everything that was out there. The jay's are still screaming.. Disturbed

[gramar2]

I bet they are. Jays are such bullys. Probly couldn't bully a hawk. :flamthrower:

[Laura]

Disturbed The Hawk was back again this morning. Im not exactly sure what he is looking for. Next time I will have the camera ready. No bird's have been here since he showed up. I also think all the Red Poll's have taken off. None here the last few day's.

I had a treat yesterday. A grandaughter and I were in a park not far from a tree that had berries left over from last year. We got to see Cedar Waxwings close up for the 1st time. If we walked slowly and carefully they stayed right there. Such pretty birds with cute little faces. : Thumb

How cool. I saw a new bird out in the trees by my house yesterday, but I have no idea what it was. I'm wonderin' if it was maybe a juvenile mocckingbird...that is what it sounded like anyway. Didn't look like one though!

[YB]

I hear so many different bird calls that I cannot ID. I have tried searching the net to find an audio of bird calls so I could ID them, the only thing I find is some trying to use words to describe a bird call... anyone have a sight like I am looking for??

[lilsparrow]

Will this help?

I like this one though! Listen to the "barred owl"~they are in the woods around here and we hear them almost every night...http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/natsci/ornithology/sounds.htm

Thanks D-ster, I will give it a shot. Thumb

[jeanette]

we have this bird here, im not sure what kind he is but he sings several different songs, i think he might even imitate other birds, anyhow sometimes he sounds just like a poor lost baby kitten MEW MEW MEW,I don't know how many times i have walked all over this farm looking for that poor lost kitty only to find it was that bird.. well he got me again this morning..
coarse then there all the times when it really is a mewing kitty.. we are about to have our spring kitten explosion... cats anyone?

[Pharmer Phil]

Hmmm, maybe a CAT BIRD? ROTFLMAO

[Laura]

[Pharmer Phil]

[gramar2]

I just heard a mourning dove. the 1st I have heard in a while.

[jeanette]
