Red-winged Blackbird

The easiest way for me to "spot" these birds, is to actually listen for their song, and then it's pretty clear: Red-winged Blackbird.

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.

Belted Kingfisher

I had no idea, but these birds actually make a nest burrow in the dirt bank near water, which can be as long as 1 to 8 feet!

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.
