Well, the warblers are finally in town. Won't be long before you can't do more than see birds on the wing and hear them chirping due to the lush foliage. Here's what I've run into in the past two weeks: White-Throated Sparrows (quite a flock digging among the leaves like thrashers) Field Sparrow House Sparrows Chipping Sparrow Tree Sparrow Palm Warblers Myrtle Warblers Black-Throated Green Warbler (pretty bird!) Tennesee Warbler Robins, Cardinals, Grackles, Herring Gulls, Black-Capped Chickadees, American Crows, Mallards, Starlings, Rock Doves, Red-Winged Blackbirds Blue Jays (building a nest in our side yard) Mourning Dove Cedar Waxwings Downy Woodpecker Yellow-Bellied Supsackers (little flock) Green Heron Black-Crowned Night Heron Rufous-Sided Tohee Turkey Vultures Osprey Red Tailed Hawk American Coots Killdeer White-Breasted Nuthatch
