Hello,
My wife and I just built a new house and one of the great things we have now is a porch with wonderful view and many birds to watch. I have always enjoyed watching birds, but never in a serious of formal way.

Stuff I have seen in the last 30 days:

Northern Yellow-shafred Flicker
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Pileated Woodpecker

Eastern Bluebird
Northern Cardinal
Bluejay
Nuthatch
Black-capped Chickadee
Goldfinch
Robin
warblers that I have not identified completely
sparrows
Heron of some kind that seems smaller than a blue heron
owls - have not seen them, but I hear them at night sometimes. Sounds like a skreech owl


Hummingbirds are my favorite to watch, but I believe they have migrated south by now and have not seen any.

We have a small pond with cat tails and wild grasses around the edge. We have a variety of tree cover in surrounding area with many large oaks, maples, birches, and some pine and firs.

I look forward to reading about what others are watching and learning more about birds in our area.
 
Hi Clifford and welcome on behalf of the Staff and Moderators

It sounds like a wonderful place you have and I'll look forward to hearing more about it.
