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!

Eastern Phoebe

The Phoebe is the first bird to welcome very early spring where I live. Although they overwinter here, they are pretty quiet, but as soon as the weather warms just a tad, you will hear "FEEbee...FEEbee" all morning long.

Northern Cardinal

You know me as the Virginia State Bird, but you might also know me as the bird that keeps attacking my own reflection in your window. (I can't help it! It's hormones!)
