Eastern Bluebird

Typically prefer the communal lifestyle, hang out in FamilyFlocks and join other flocks in the winter to make the MonsterFlock.

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.

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.
