Look out the window! What birds can you see.

9 Morning Doves
3 Blue Jays
1 Female Cardinal
1 Male Cardinal
1 Finch

None; it’s been dark here since about 3.45PM I saw blackbirds, starlings and some kind of gulls earlier on, if that helps.

Snowbirds, packing up and moving south. Five days of below zero temps and now 5 more inches of snow and I can’t blame them. But seriously folks, no birds today, they are huddling in the bushes.

Brown Pelican (fishing in the harbor)
Neotropic Cormorant
Laughing Gull
Royal Tern
Great Egret
Snowy Egret
Turkey Vulture
Black Vulture
Orange-chinned Parakeet
Rock Dove
Tropical Kingbird
Great-tailed Grackle

Usually there are a few Magnificent Frigatebirds, but none at the moment. Other species I see often from my apartment window are Yellow-headed Caracara, Peregrine Falcon, Yellow-fronted Amazon Parrot, Tropical Mockingbird, Streaked Saltator, Blue-gray Tanager, and Crimson-backed Tanager.

1 Cardinal - That stood it’s ground when the loose puppy chased all the other’s away.

Did any one doubt that Colibri would step in and kick everyone else’s ass here?

Me? Maybe a pigeon. Okay, a rock dove.

Ummm…the best I can do is a map of the US interstate system.

Huh?

Right now there’s only a pair of cardinals. Earlier, though, we had a crowd of English sparrows, a few black-capped chickadees and mourning doves. There were a few finches, and the small woodpecker who comes to call every morning.

We also had a couple of squirrels who hung upside down to feed at our squirrel-proof feeder. Ha. :smiley:

It’s not really bird weather, and the only window here looks out on the parking lot to the officespace across the way, so I looked out my car window on my way to get lunch. In the little retention pond across the corner there were about 20 mallards and one egret, scrunched down against the cool breeze.

Colibri: beware, my parents are headed your way a week from today. They’re thinking of buying property but want to check it out a bit more, first. My father got some new binoculars just for the trip. Also, if you know, my mother wants to know what the water temps are down there this time of year. They’ll be near both oceans at some point.

And a partridge in a pair tree!

All I’ve got over here are your standard-issue seagulls.

Well, being about 20 degrees of latitude south of most of you does give me a few advantages, not to mention having an apartment that overlooks Panama Bay and a city park. :smiley:

Where are they looking? There’s been a big boom in US retirees coming down here in the last couple of years. Water temps are about that of a lukewarm bath year-round.

Just a couple pigeons bobbing around on the parking ramp.

And a driver who deserved to get the bird for cutting someone off as they turned left from the right-hand lane to turn into the garage.

At my bird feeder (outside my window)?

2 black capped chickadees
1 tufted titmouse
Several slate grey junkos
At least one blue jay

Not a single Orange-chinned Parakeet :frowning: .

But I note you’re sadly deficent in titmice Colibri!!!

Oh and not out my window but if I walk a bit, about a dozen Canada Geese I’m hoping are here for the season.

Not really sure, and maybe they’re not either. I’ll ask. Water temps here during the summer are about that of a warm bath, so that might actually be too cold for them.

JEALOUS!!

Where do you live?!!

All I get to see is the pair of scrub jays that visit my birdfeeder on my apartment balcony.

I have a Grape arbor next to a flowering crab from seed. The marsh is on the other side of the tree and a trellis fence runs along the marsh. The feeder is a shallow pan on the ground. The flowering crab has apples that are normally one and a half inches diameter. The branches are really strong wood and arch slightly down . You have to saw off any branch over a half inch when trimming , because a cutting shear can’t get through.

The huge ass Morning Doves all sit in the tree at once and up to seven have been on one skinny branch… The tree is doomed if the area Turkeys start roosting in it. I wish we had some Quail this year. I love to see a covey with the funny dangly head feather. We get Sandhill Cranes and some migratory ducks in the spring. The river is on the other side of the small marsh. I plant for Humming birds, and the love the patches of Delphinium. They don’t hum in the winter, their beaks just sort of chatter. :slight_smile:

The current sightings are :

2 Male Cardinals
7 Morning Doves
5 Chickadees
2 English Sparrows

Ten minutes ago there were 5 Cardinals and 3 Blue Jays.

Some thrashers until it started to rain.

I work at a college, and the only birds I’ve seen are the chicks here for freshman orientation.

That’s what’s known as an intangible benifit.

Panama City, Panama. If I go over to Metropolitan Park, which is about 10 minutes away by car, I can see toucans, manakins, and oropendolas.
