Birdwatching update

Today, I saw a red-winged blackbird eating from our birdfeeder. That's the first one of those I've seen all spring, and it's also the first bird other than a sparrow that I've seen at the feeder.

So far this year, I've seen many different birds in my neighborhood. I've seen house sparrows, red-winged blackbirds, mourning doves, crows, robins, Canadian geese, cardinals, northern mockingbirds, starlings, and red-tailed hawks. Not too far from my house, I've seen blue jays, mallards, and wild turkeys.

When you stop and take the time to look around, you will find that there are many different types of birds in your area.
