Enjoy!!
That's a good list. Watching all of them will keep you busy.
I think the same catbirds are making another nest in the same bush again. Anyone know if thats normal?
Thank you!! Your pic very amazing!!
Yes, that can happen often. Sometimes the first nest doesn't work out. Sometimes, the eggs or chicks get predated so the parents find somewhere else. Some birds build dummy nests before making the one the will actually use.
Did the yellow bird look like this?
What cool pictures! I like snakes too!Here's some of my best pics of birds: in order, young Mallard, Black-Crowned Night-Heron, American Robin, Snake, American Coot, Great Blue Heron, Brown-Headed Cowbird.

Love all your birds! Cool picture!I am glad I found this thread. I love wild birds. My shelves are full of bird books. I have taken many pictures of birds. My sister is a professional photographer who does bird photography as a hobby. We often go birdwatching together. Her pictures are awesome.
I live on 36 acres of mixed woodland and meadow. We have many birds. I also have a feeder attached to my kitchen window. I have quite a variety that come right to the window, even if I am standing on the other side of the glass. Goldfinch, cardinal, house finch, purple finch, chipping sparrow, white throated sparrow, white breasted and red breasted nuthatches, black capped chickadees, evening grosbeak, rose breasted grosbeak, oh and a flying squirrelAnd those are just the ones that land in the feeder. Juncos feed below the feeder. Blue jays try to get in but are too big as are the grackles.
Last year a pair of American redstarts nested near one of the windows. My avatar is a picture of one of the fledglings. They are back this year but I have not found the nest yet. I know it is near the house because the female catches bugs on the porch. Here's a picture from last year.

That's awesome one that you found so many nests! Wish I could go birdwatching around your house!
I also been thinking about @WindingRoad's mystery bird and also think either American Goldfinch or maybe Lesser Goldfinch, but looks like Chickstarrs beat me to posting
