Mourning Dove
Notes from the video: Did you know they make these haunting sounds through their nostrils? A gulp of air a big chest expansion and it comes out their nose. One of my favorite sounds in the Backyard this fellow gives us a rare closeup performance! Personal note: We have Mourning Doves that roost near my work campus and when I'm on a lunch break, walking around the neighborhood, you can hear the Mourning Doves cooing, nearly all hours of the day or night.

So it was an interesting week at the feeder. Maybe it is migration but we had an abundance of birds outside our window. The colorful cardinals, goldfinch, blue jays, and Baltimore orioles (not a normal sighting). Woodpeckers galore: hairy, downey and red bellied (not a normal sighting). The usual suspects: black capped chickadees, house sparrows, cat birds, tufted titmice, nut hatches and brown headed cowbirds. On one of the days I was looking out the window and having my coffee, I noticed our juvenile rooster "Goose"(and that is a whole other story) was having a wild turkey encounter. He was all puffed up and being a bit aggressive but the female turkey was not impressed. After a couple minutes of his bad behavior I thought maybe a bit of bread was called for. When I went out onto the deck the turkey headed for the woods, until she saw me throwing bread and she came running back. I have to say in 22 years here I have never had the chance to feed a wild turkey first hand. After the bread was gone I tried throwing down an ear of corn to keep her in the area but she seemed uninterested and wandered off. A keen eyed crow spotted that ear of corn and flew down into the yard (also not normal though they are all about) and began to give the corn a tasting. In our barn we have a pair of swallows back again and they are playing house down there. Lastly, on my way to the house after work, there was a scarlet tanager sitting along side the roadway. It was a great week for bird watching in New Hampshire.

Starling Murmurations
I like how the starlings take on the shadow form of an Eagle in flight. Pretty amazing, the shapes and forms Starlings take when in flight.

Bulgarian Nightingale birdsong
'Thou, light-winged dryad of the trees In some melodious plot, Of beechen green and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease.' (Keats, Ode to a Nightingale)

The Avairy
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. |

No fair. You can’t just put up a picture without telling us what it is! I think I may have some of these or something close to it.
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/ |
