Robins, cardinals, finches, red winged blackbirds,sparrows and since I am near water, Great Blue Herons, osprey, cormorants and egrets. And lots of seagulls at the beach.

Robins, stellar jays, vultures, ravens, crows, hummingbirds, hawks, quail, flickers, turkeys, grosbeaks, sparrows, chickadees, juncos, scrub-jays, and doves.

Crows, sparrows, doves, woodpeckers, owls, hummingbirds and parrots.

Lots of sandhill cranes walking around my neighborhood. Cardinals. All sorts of other types of birds that I don’t know their names. The have been singing a lot lately. Also, we see ducks and their ducklings, so cute, I worry they will get hit by a car, do ducks count? There is an eagles nest area near me, but I have not seen any eagles personally.

We have awesome birds! The mix changes with the season.
Here is what I saw today:
Bluebirds fledged from the bluebird box!!! Yay!!!
There is a robin sitting on a nest in our Japanese cherry tree
Goldfinchs
Cardinals
Blue Jays
Grackles
Wrens
Chipping sparrow
and
Tree sparrows are swooping in the backyard.

I’m sure I missed a lot more.

Cardinals sparrows and the occasional hummingbird at wife’s feeder..and grackles by the dozens, big nasty crow looking things but larger than a crow. Common in Central Texas. The U.T. Austin book store is even named The Grackle in homage to the nasty beasts.

In our yard I see a lot of Oregon juncos, spotted towhees, California towhees, American robins, wrens, hummingbirds, Western scrub jays, oak titmice…those are the ones I’m aware of.

I just googled and found this video of birds in The Villages, FL where I live. In the beginning he talks a little about his camera, you can fast forward through that. He has the cranes, pelicans, an eagle, heron, owl, and more. https://youtu.be/F8uhSrswv0U

There’s a birding club here, I’ve never joined them on their walks. I’d like to. We have lots of nature trails.

Most often sparrows and pigeons. But now that you asked, I suddenly realized that I haven’t seen as many birds as I used to. This is the summer here, and I used to see a lot of sparrows back in the day. Now I would be lucky if I see a pigeon, and there are so few sparrows I almost forget they exist.

Crows, hawks, swans, egrets, robins, bluejays, cardinals, vultures, wild turkeys, sparrows, chickadees, woodpeckers, geese, ducks, to name a few.

I will feed the crows when I have a chance. At my house, they know there are cats here but if I go to the lake, the crows will scrounge for leftovers.

At my job, about 45 minutes away, there are seagulls. I’ll feed them too. Feeding crows and seagulls is a very efficient way to get rid of unwanted food.

From my window; seagulls, pigeons, magpies, sparrows, bluetits, crows, finches and starlings. A little further away I can see mallard ducks, swans, herons and even a small colony of Indian ring necked parakeets.

@jca2 You really shouldn’t feed seagulls. They become very aggressive and go after people’s food at the beach and other places.

Cardinals, doves, blue jays, robins, hawks and grackles mostly, hummingbirds are nesting now.

@janbb: The ones at my job are not like the ones at the beach.

Mostly at my job it’s crows and a few pigeons (since the city my job is in is really nowhere near the ocean), but there are some seagulls that intermingle with the crows. No birds there are aggressive and I’ve been there over 20 years.

Bluebirds, Wrens, Crows, Grackles, Robins, Mississippi Kites, Pigeons, Mourning Doves, Hummingbirds, Goldfinches, House Finches, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Downy Woodpecker, Vultures, Red Tailed Hawks seen in and around my yard. Over at the reservoir a Osprey and two years ago a Bald Eagle.

Alas, not my favorite from Ohio and Florida, the cardinal, but Alaska has a ton of interesting birds. Ones I’ve spied recently are the ever present ravens, tons of chickadees and swallows, what I think was a White crowned sparrow, woodpeckers, grosbeas, redpoles and juncos, and the occasional steller jay. Occasionally an eagle flies overhead but mostly see them across the highway closer to the lakes. Oh, and how can I forget the robins. One was fussing at me today for spooking it while I was out with the dog. A neighbor has some horned owls that hang in her area but haven’t spied any around my place. Now that I think about it, I used to see Magpies but haven’t seen any of them around lately.

Just now on the bird feeders – - Brown Thrasher and a male Cardinal.

Red-Wing Blackbird on Governors Island yesterday…

Alas, not my favorite from Ohio and Florida, the cardinal

When I was a kid and my grandmother from Colorado visited us in Michigan, she was thrilled by the cardinals. I still stop and stare at them when I get the chance. I don’t see them every day, but I can hear them. Most of the birds outside my window are sparrows, robins and cardinals.

Last year I lived near a big city park with a lagoon, and cranes (herons? I get them mixed up) were common. Also lots of swans, geese, and unusual ducks.

I was walking the park a lot and several times I ran into swarms of birdwatchers. When a rare visitor flies in, the signal goes out by text/email/etc. They rush over with their cameras and binoculars.

Ducks
Geese
Swans
Gulls

More sightings:
—A woodpecker stopped by my suet feeder today
—A few days ago I drove by a big turkey standing by a neighbor’s mailbox, like it was waiting for a chance to cross the road.
—Swallows are flying high above my place in the evening, eating bugs. I like that because bats take the night shift and trawl the same spots after dark. I’ll have to look for them.
—There are great bike path through the woods near my home, where I’ve seen blue jays and redwing blackbirds.
—The path follows a little river. Goose and duck families lounge on the shore.

With my phone looking through binoculars I captured a photo of a couple of sparrows and a house finch at my feeders
