I just spotted a female Pine Warbler yesterday (the 2nd of February) sitting on the windowsill eating a seed. From what I understand, they overwinter a bit south of here (very southern Virginia and into the Carolina’s etc) but right when early February rolls around they return to just north of their wintering range – which is basically right where I am. Cool! I wonder if she had just arrived.

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.

Eastern Whippoorwill

I can't in good conscience have people camp here in the summer knowing that the Whippoorwill will be whooping ALL NIGHT LONG. Seriously. It's a bit much.

Bald Eagle

Bald Eagles basically steal food from other birds and sometimes mammals, instead of doing the work themselves. Fitting mascot for the United States?

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.
