Anyone into birds?

I'm not.
But it's a lot more fun passing a tree full of waxwings and gazing out the window at Blue Jays, Woodpeckers and the other ones I've not been able to identify than I remember noticing back in Bristol.
I saw a couple of Black capped chickadees today. Never seen those before.

I love the different birds out here compared to the UK.
Here's a few local ones, a wild turkey, a turkey vulture across the road, a bald eagle that just took off and a cardinal.
I really like seeing cardinals, bluejays and the variety of woodpeckers, but those things are pretty tough to get a decent photo of.

And I guess there's the bluejays acronym joke.
Still the birds are pretty awesome. It's amazing to see a cardinal in your back yard.

I miss the sound of a European, or indeed African, morning....the birds here in winter are a hardy breed by force, they don't tend to sing their praise
Nor indeed would I. This morning I heard wood pigeons and the sound is so utterly evocative of pleasanter times that it caught me by surprise...it would seem that the good times, might finally roll
I like the sound of the woodpeckers, an enterprising bunch. But the crows cawing leave me cold...Eastern Canada is maybe less melodic than more pastoral parts?

I like birds. We get a lot of Bohemian waxwings round here. November is an all you can eat buffet
. Only seem to be able to load one photo at a time on ipad. I don't know how this one even took off. Greedy bugger

American robin (who's actually a thrush and not related to British robin).
