Wood Thrush

Probably my favorite bird!!! At least my favorite bird song. You don't see these very often, they live deep in the forest, but you hear their soft lovely flute-like trill call and it is just divine.

American Goldfinch

These little birds are the swoopiest fliers that I've ever seen! Their flight patterns are like sine waves...

Red-eyed Vireo

This bird serenades me for HOURS when I'm working in my garden. Now I understand why... it's known as a tireless songster.

American Crow

If you listen closely to crows calling to one another, you'll notice that they all have different voices and styles of cawing, just like humans!
