So, I just did the entry for the Pine Warbler, and how I had just seen one yesterday at my window, and now I’m wondering if it was a Yellow-throated Vireo, because they look so similar! I think it was indeed a female Pine Warbler because it had less yellow, but I will never know for sure. It still makes a good story though.

Cedar Waxwing

The lushes of the bird world, Cedar Waxwings love fruit and berries so much, they are known to get intoxicated or even die from overripe berries.

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 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.

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!
