I pulled out my handy dandy bird id book and looked at the beak/perching bird profiles. The catbird jumped right out at me. LOL

I did some research....what about a Grey Catbird? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Gray_Catbird/id

It has a really pointy beak, almost Oriole like? Maybe? Orioles like fruit. :)

Hmmm.....I cant tell what kind it is. I doubt you disturbed her though. ☺

Love those Evening Grosbeaks!! We used to have them but they are rare visitors anymore? Not sure why. The Rose-breasted occasionally come this far west however the past 5 years I have had a few at my feeders. Do you get the Blue Grossbeaks? I usually see them as they are migrating south, so...

Finches have cone shaped beaks.

We have all kinds of Black-headed Grosbeaks this year. Haven't seen any Rose-breasted Grosbeaks though, yet anyway. Western Bluebird momma is diligently incubating her eggs in one of the nest boxes, 2 or 3 eggs, I can't see all the way in. They are due to hatch Friday or Saturday!! A...

Here's the daily displaying Tom at the bird bath. The pic is a bit washed out (my phone stinks) but this is as close as he let me get. LOL Oh and thats a mini Big Foot to the left. LOL

Wow, I have been awol from this thread!! :oops: I have a Tom Turkey pic somewhere, Blue Birds nesting in one box, Chickadees in the other and explosion of Goldfinches!!! :) Hope everyones birdies are doing well!! :-)

We don't have cat birds out here. Are they the same birds that I hear love to come to campsites and eat off the picnic tables?? LOL

As much as a pest as these Cowbirds can be, I do love their voice, similar to Red-winged Blackbirds. Turkey eggs take about 28 days to hatch, so you won't see your Turkeys for some time yet. Get a low tray of water ready in about a month so the babies can come get a drink first thing. Turkey...

A few Turkey hens are hanging out around here but others have moved on too, no doubt to start setting. Yes, Cowbirds evolved to follow Buffalo and other type herd animals long ago. As the herds moved, the Cowbirds didn't have time to make nests and raise young, so they began laying their eggs...

LOL...its fun to talk about birds! Speaking of which, how are the birdies today? Lots of birds at my feeders today, mostly Grosbeaks, House Finches and Cowbirds. Turkeys stop by on and off. Oh and yes, Turkeys have a pretty big range and make their rounds to their favorite feeding areas. So...

No I think it's an unwritten law in all of the bird world....a direct look in the eyes is an aggressive action. LOL BUT...over time as they trust you, you can look closer at them. For now they aren't sure of you. Try this next time the Toms are around or anytime really....clap really loud or...

Yes, definitely never look directly or stare at them. They think you are being aggressive. There were 3 Toms and 4 hens in the yard today! I heard them coming too this morning. They sleep in the big Pine trees a ways away and walk here each morning. Toms were gobbling all the way up here! LOL

With the Turkeys, I usually approach them in the exact same way every day, so they know what to expect. I rattle my can of seeds and repeat the same words every day, "I have seeds"....I never look at them as in the bird world this is an act of aggression, LOL (quick glances only) and once I get...

How are your birdies this morning? Yes, I have often wondered about these older Toms and the younger Toms....they all seem to hang out together peacefully. We had a winter storm over the weekend, dropped 4 inches of snow on us!! It was bitter cold too and I had to keep warming the...

That's quite a list of birds you have in your state! LOTS of water birds!

I am not sure we have grouse up in these mountains. I have heard there are Prairie Chickens down in the low lands though.

I have seen this mix at walmart. I mix my own blend of millet, sunflower chips and thistle seed.
