Do you see th scissor tailed flycatchers there?

There are scissor tailed flycatchers that live at the end of our road, I've seen them on the power wires when I drive to town. Here on the farm, just Phoebes and Peewees. My eyesight isn't as good lately, so it's harder to differentiate birds. Eye doc says time for cataract surgery, and that Medicare will pay for it. After which I won't need glasses, so I'm pleased!!!

I figured you might have some around... power lines is usually where I see them too.

You might be like us when you get your eyes refurbished... I always had better eyesight than my wife... then she had lasik done... and now I’m the one that can’t see

It’s awfully nice out this morning.

.... There’s a tom turkey gobbling in the woods behind the house... telling the world all about it!

... this little yellow and white iris is all there is for new colors today...

A windy day, another baby on the ground--I'm wondering if it's a phoebe.
Any ideas?

Looks like a robin to me

Actually I can kinda see Phoebe in that one...

You don’t have a screech owl or something attacking nests at night do you?

I had that happen a couple of years ago.... I’m assuming it was a screech owl... base on where one of the nests were... and having seen one around.

We have a whippoorwill that sings every night, do either of you hear those?

We used to have a whippoorwill that sat on the rail outside our bedroom window and sang his heart out every morning before dawn... sure glad he moved on.

Went for a little drive on some country roads yesterday . .I saw. . .
Meadowlarks
red-winged blackbirds mockingbirds
Of course sparrows, cardinals, and a few other "every day" birds.

BUT I also spotted this

According to bird Id I believe it is a sand piper!
It showed no the app there have been a few other sightings in the area we were in.
Very cool I thought.
