American Robin

You can throw a stone in the suburbs and hit a robin (but please don't!) however I've only seen ONE the entire time I've been out here at Middle Way. Weird!

Northern Mockingbird

I have a friend, that shall remain nameless, that told me he and his friend did (some kind of mind altering substance) one night and listened to the mockingbird that was singing all night long, and they can confirm that it definitely NEVER repeats the same pattern EVER.

Black Vulture

Lacking a good sense of smell, these smaller vultures soar higher than Turkey Vultures (who do have good sniffers) to keep an eye on where they're going and hopefully follow them to carcasses.

Carolina Chickadee

Another bird that is all gussied up and ready for a night on the town (and is also TOO cute!)
