A Busy Day at the Feeder

It has been an extremely busy day at the bird feeder. Normally the finches frequent it, an occasional sparrow stops by, and the cardinals pick up what the others drop. Here is what I have seen at my window so far today:

• Tufted Titmouse - * listen *


• Black-capped Chickadee - * listen *


• White-breasted Nuthatch - * listen *


• House Finch - * listen *


• House Wren - * listen *


• Northern Cardinal - * listen *

In addition there are the other birds that don't come to the feeder:

• Robins
• Bluejays
• Common Grackles
• Mourning Doves

If you could play all of those songs at once you would have an idea of what it sounds like around here during the day. At night it is just as noisy. To get an idea of what it sounds like here at night you should turn up the sound as high as you can and click here. I prefer the bird songs to the cicadas, the birds are better looking also.
