Eastern Kingbird

These birds got their name because they are super aggressive with each other and other species defending their nests. In addition they have a hidden crown of yellow on their head which is only visible when they attack.

White-breasted Nuthatch

You often see this bird clinging to the side of a tree truck, sometimes upside down. The curved shape of it's cute little body it like a swoopy parabola.

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.

Northern Flicker

Kind of a cross between a ground feeding bird and a woodpecker, I like to cover all my bases food-finding-wise.
