Brown-headed Cowbird

True Story: I spotted a bird walking weirdly through the grass here, and when I looked it up and saw it was a COWbird, it all made sense, because I swear it walks like a cow, not like a bird.

Common Yellowthroat

These little warblers like tangled vegetation near marshes or wetlands, which is why I spotted one near a creek amongst all the tangly Witchhazel and Brook Alder.

American Robin

You can throw a stone in the suburbs and hit a robin (but please don't!) however I've only seen ONE the entire time I've been out here at Middle Way. Weird!

Blue Jay

I'm noisy and kind of aggressive, but I love acorns and I helped spread oak trees after the last glacial period. You're welcome!
