Getting well into my book "Of Crows and Ravens" and now I have the crow calls set on my computer. I saw quite a flock yesterday but no communication. I will keep trying. I love all the crow family, so many, crow, ravens, blue jays etc.
I have been carrying food with me each time I go out for years now, just in case I see one or the other. So many people don't like crow but they are one of the most intelligent birds around. They are mischevious cause they are so smart and will steal the coin off a dead mans eyes LOL.

I’m just getting into birding as I live on the edge of the sanctuary. I’m now learning how to identify some of these guys. I’m keeping a list separating them by water birds and terrestrial birds. I have a nest going by my kitchen window with a couple I have not identified yet, and just discovered that wall hung flower pot is now home to a Mourning Dove nest.

I noticed I have had the above bird landing on my patio several times this spring and I had posted the picture because I'm clueless as to what the bird. Anybody know??

Is that the actual bird you saw? I mean, did you take the photo?
Because I'm pretty sure it's some sort of White-eye, either a Warbling White-eye or Indian White-eye . . . but they would only be found in Asia.

If it's a bird that looks similar to this one, it could be a Vireo (specifically a White-eyed Vireo or Yellow-throated Vireo, or some kind of Flycatcher depending on where you live. The Merlin Bird App is a good resource to check or you can also try: https://www.whatbird.com/

It's a banded broadbill. They are a subtropical/tropical species found mostly in Southeast Asia. It is a beautiful bird and a very nice pic.
