This little wren loves living here, and has built nests every year in a box full of tools, or in between two flower pots next to a door, in between my broom and walking sticks, you name it.

It bounces and hops around the patio bobbing it’s body up and down making a “chip chip chip” call, exploring the furniture, and whatever else is sitting around outside. It’s pretty loud for a small bird (which is probably why I often notice when it’s around calling for attention) but the bobbing up and down cuteness factor really can’t be beat.

Brown Thrasher

It's many variations of continuous songs (more than 1,100 types) can drive you bonkers almost as much as a mockingbird can.

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.
