What birds have you seen lately?
Inspired by my hefty Audubon Society Encyclopedia of North American Birds, I have been going outside with my binoculars the past couple of days. These are the ones I have been able to identify. What birds can you see?
White Winged Dove (yes! No, it does not only nest in the saguaro cactus in Phoenix.) This is probably the most common bird I see. There were three in my backyard earlier. Mourning Dove Blue Jay Cardinal Red-Bellied Woodpecker I didn't take these pictures myself. |

I saw a red wing hawk yesterday, and I was so excited. This thread had perfect timing Edit: Unfortunately, my hawk didn't have an awesome piggy backer.

I pretty much only see Robins and Cardinals around my house. But there are about 10 million of those.

OMG, bird excitement. I was sitting on the deck and a hawk landed on a branch up high. It was picking at something. Then a small bird started crashing into it! It would would slam into the hawk, fly away, and slam into it again! I wondered if the small bird was trying to protect a nearby nest. When the hawk flew away, I could see it had a mouse or rat in its talons. And the small bird kept right after it! It was kind of funny.
