Today a neighbor had 3 Sandhill cranes in the front yard. I saw 2 Herons in the Fox river. There were 3 Goldfinch in the front yard.
That sounds pretty amazing, especially the sandhill cranes! The biggest birds I ever get here are flocks of wild turkeys.
Here’s what I can see out the window as I sit here. I’ve got a pair of cardinals (a female and a male) on the front stoop. Several hummingbirds are flitting all over the Rose of Sharon plant but they don’t hold still enough to count…maybe 6-10? Eight ravens stalking the driveway in that pattern they use to scare up bugs and eat them. A couple of blue birds, three blue jays, a small group of sparrows, some wrens and some finches.
Our little white crane (egret?) is not around this morning, I saw him yesterday down the road at a place where the creek was running into a pond.
We’ve been plagued by a flock of Canada geese lately. However today it is STILL raining and they are nowhere to be seen.
There is a monster hawk down in the bottom of the hayfield. I have never seen one that big, close up.
The Sandhill cranes will be starting to gather, so fields around here can have hundreds in them. I don’t know if the lack of crops due to the early summer flooding will affect that. Around here you might find 50 turkeys together, but not many more.
I live near Rutland Water, so can expect to see kestrels, ospreys, herons and loads more. See here!
I see a merganser with wings spread wide every morning as I walk to my car. I live on a small lake, so ducks, cranes and egrets are plentiful too. Used to see seagulls all over the place, but not so much lately.
Of course, the very first bird I see in the morning is my cockatiel, Nikita.
All those birds sound amazing, especially the cardinals. I get some of the red little things down here often and they’re so nice to look at.
My backyard gets a wide assortment of birds on account of living next to a canal: mockingbirds, blue jays, cardinals, moorhens, herons, American wood ducks, Muscovy ducks, crows, ring-neck doves, pigeons, osprey, falcons, and some more I don’t know the name of. Quite a view in the mornings 
Every morning I wake up and see two cockatiels and a green cheeked conure.
Expect on those morning I don’t, in which case I leap up and begin a frantic search for them, to see what they gotten into and, in the conure’s case, attempted to disassemble.
Does that count?
No birds yet, because I haven’t looked. 
Geese are back…
I regularly see sandhill cranes and whistling ducks on my way to work in the mornings. They live in my neighborhood.
edit to add: And like Broomstick, I see a bird in my house every day. A creamino lovebird, to be exact.
Nothing exciting here… a pair of mourning doves, the usual assortment of starlings and grackles and an odd sparrow or 2.
I saw a couple of bird dogs… does THAT count?
Only if they were flying. Be sure to film that if you see it.
You got it. Sometimes I think they could use their ears as Dumbo wings…
I saw three monstrous vultures on the way back from gym, just now.
hummingbirds, grackles, and i just saw a groove-billed ani fly over the house. a few miles from the house there are some phone lines that fill up with green parakeets every dusk and dawn. i’ve seen and heard the great kiskadee in my neighborhood, we also have green jays and parrots that nest in the palm trees.
Ack. If you want it to be this MORNING, none. Sun wasn’t up when I went to cubicle-land. Since I’ve been home, though…
Sandhill cranes, 3 Sharpshin hawks, white-breasted nuthatch, chickadees, crow, goldfinch, phoebe, great crested flycatcher, turkeys, ruby-throated hummingbird.
Not many species here today, or for the past week, due to the Sharpshins taking over the territory. Our house list has TONS of species.
I wish you’d asked me last week.
On the morning of August 27th, when we left for a long weekend, I had Baltimore Orioles, Orchard Orioles, Tree Swallows, Barn Swallows, Robins, American goldfinches, Yellow Warblers, Mourning Doves, Redwinged Blackbirds, Yellowheaded Blackbirds, Partridges, Ring-necked Pheasants, Kildeer, Common loons, Grackles, Mallards, a bunch of different Little Brown Birds (sparrows, mostly) and a Greathorned Owl visible in my (large, rural) yard. There is/was a Pilated woodpecker I could hear occasionally, but never saw.
As of Monday, September 2nd, when we returned home, everything but the owl, pheasants, partridges, and one stupid female barn swallow are gone.
The (relatively) sudden quiet is a bit unsettling.
This morning there were 6 hen turkeys a bit down the road.
The one thing that the flood did was clear out almost all the birds that we have around the house all summer. They all lost their nests to the flood. The food was gone too. We had a pheasant at the feeder during the winter and I had hoped to see them this summer.
