Bird watching

[shawluvsbirds]

Have a pair of brown thrashers hanging out in my yard this week a lot! I've seen them some the last couple years here but they are usually stay pretty hidden. This spring they aren't being shy! Too cool.

Sorry i never replied, completely forgot! Lol but that's awesome about the thrashers!

I saw a huge osprey nest today and lots of maybe black birds or grackles?

And whatever this is lol



We went to Cape Cod today

No worries! Idk on the pic. Ya got me on that one would have to consult my field guide. Cool bird though! I've not seen one like it that I know of.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Okay I think I figured it out but it was semi too fast to be much fun lol so do you want me to tell you or do you want to have the fun of looking it up yourself?

 

[shawluvsbirds]

Tell me! I've been too busy to dig out my field guide lol

Catbirds have that grey cap and are darker than mockingbirds. Mockingbirds are slightly larger and have longer tails

Catbirds stick to shrubbery and mockingbirds don't care who sees them.

We have a tube feeder in the backyard that we can see from the kitchen window. Our son LOVES watching the birds come to it. One of his first words was BIRD !
