An American Kestrel yesterday and of course, a regular, our Red-tailed Hawks "making lazy circles in the sky". (quote from the song "Oklahoma")

Hmmm.. probably the Brown-Headed Nuthatches. The reason for this is because thy are the least common Nuthatch in North America. There is about 2 pairs of them and they come everyday for their seed and suet. Sometimes they get a little clumsy and drop the sunflower seed. As for BlueJaybob, how do you get them use to you, they let me get between 30-20 feet sometimes 10, but they seem to wild to handle.

it would be nice to see any birds in my garden but because of problems with sparrowhawks we dont get many anymore

I would have to say our 2 highlights would be the sparrowhawk which sat in the garden for over an hour, and the other would be the very unexpectd visit by a grey wagtail.

Favorite bird in Garden

I like all birds that enter our garden but if I had to choose it would be a Coot, which is strange because there isn't a pond or lake here for miles, and a Kestrel that had hunted it's prey in our back garden and stayed there for about ten minites.

Snipe Hunting?-Wilson's Snipe

I like all birds that enter our garden but if I had to choose it would be a Coot, which is strange because there isn't a pond or lake here for miles, and a Kestrel that had hunted it's prey in our back garden and stayed there for about ten minites.

Out in the pasture checking on a horse yesterday, I flushed a Wilson's Snipe from a small stream. If I had gone out to Hunt for a Snipe, I would have never found one.
