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.

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.

Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Did you know we have a local cuckoo bird? We do! And it's another bird that's easy to hear but hard to spot.
