That is it! When you see and hear a Red winged Black bird: Spring is here! Has a very sharp voice saying: Cheerrrr! It'sSPRRRRRING you can be sure.
The Grackle is a funny bird. In big flocks they look like black birds, but truly they have a most beautiful iridescent plumage with deep purple variety of colors.
The American Robin is a delightful bird. She comes in the Spring running fast around looking for insects and worms. Stays only where there is a little mud, because she builds a beautiful nest with muddy stuff and inside gathers soft tissues to line the nest. Later in the summer you don't see them as often as in early Spring.
The Black Capped Chickadee is a year-a-round bird in our region. Because she/he eats a variety of food can stay in the winter. Most birds go to the South when the winter takes their food away.

They chatter a lot, quite noisy, aggressive for food even with each other. They are coming only in the Spring.

No, the picks are not mine, just borrowed it from here and there. Because this blog has no commercial interest, hope we do not interfere with copy rights.
