    What bird do you find annoying?

    Only one bird truly annoys me so far, that bird would be the Blue Jay. Its screech is dreadfully annoying. There is just something about it, I have lots of species visiting daily, and lots of groups of birds but only the blue jay has been an issue. Do any annoy you? Drake.

    First dark-eyed Junco of the year.

    Well, first one this cold season, I kinda missed them over the spring and summer etc. With the cold for me comes juncos, woodpeckers and goldfinches, sadly we don't get to see the goldfinches when they are in breeding plumage, just dull colors. Drake. Nebraska USA

    I have noticed a lot of this, The common grackles go to the food bowl on the ground, grab a nut or berry or seed then walk over to the water bowl located on the ground aswell and dip the piece of food in before they eat it. Is this a common practice? Now of course not EVERY single grackle does...

    No pic as of yet. The bird is detailed almost just like a female House Finch, although it is half the size of a house finch, smaller than an American Goldfinch. The lines that are the norm for a house finch on this bird are an extreme bold dark brown. I also can't stress enough how little this...
