Lucky! We don't have those around here. The prettiest birds are orioles, and they're not here yet.

We had a rose breasted grosbeak at our feeder the other day. We see cardinals daily.

At our house ( Major County Okla. ) we have Eastern Phoebe every year . The male comes early to scout for millers still in the pupa stage in the soil . If scouting seems non- productive for food for the young they move on to another area . In 35 years they only missed brooding babies at our house 2 years . I built them a platform to build a nest on so the horizontal portion of the gutter system wasn't used . If plenty of food is available 2 clutches of eggs are hatched .

Too bad the human being isn't that intelligent .

I know! I love fairy wrens because you know cow birds? They sneak eggs into other birds nest so they take care of them. (pushing the other birds actual young out due to the size)

anyway, fairy wren has a passcode for them, while their in a egg. called a incubation call, later when the mom is bringing food, or in the dark. She can tell who is, and who is not her baby. And who to feed.

isnt that just amazing?
