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.

Scarlet Tanager

Although the males are super bright red, this is a tough bird to spot, as it likes to spend time high in the treetops. For me the easiest way to "spot" it is to recognize it's song.

Great Horned Owl

Crows harass hawks, but they specifically will harass Great Horned Owls - for hours on end, as this owl is a crow's most dangerous predator.

Prairie Warbler

This lil' guy has a song that starts shrill, increases up the scale, and finishes beyond human hearing.
