Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yellow Warbler out of these, but my real favorite is Eastern Phoebe. Anyway, remember not everyone has pelicans in their backyard, or Anna's or Black-chinned hummingbirds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candydez12 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yeah I know. If they don't have any, they could just choose which one they like the best. I love Yellow Warbler too!!! I just saw my first male yesterday ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're more common in the winter. Their aerial dances are wonderful. And sometimes they have special guests. ?  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Documentation, please. And forget that original list. How the heck many people get pelicans in the back yard? Brown-headed Nuthatch. They're fun to watch bouncing around, squeaking like rubber duckies.

I regret saying that three months ago. My point was not to make a sweeping statement, just to say that a significant portion of birders (and whatbirders) are from California. EDIT: No, not three months ago. Over a year ago. Edited December 23, 2022 by Quiscalus quiscula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 My favorite backyard birds would probably be a Loggerhead Shrike or a Eastern Kingbird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 14 hours ago, Charlie Spencer said: Documentation, please. This is the best I could find. These are how many unique eBirders saw at least one bird in each state/territory/province in the ABA area. It's not perfect because it counts the same person multiple times, and states like California and Florida are popular travel destinations anyway. It'd be great if eBird offered a tool where each person counted only for the territory where they submitted the most checklists.

crisevan Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I like blue jays but I have read some article that blue jays other birds eggs, fledglings, or small birds, but the chances of this happening are very slim. You’ll rarely see these songbirds feasting on other birds. I am quite scare about that. Do you know another information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Blue Jays will include the eggs and nestlings of other species among their food sources. But they're not the only bird species that does this, and there also plenty of mammals and reptiles that will too. While it may be unpleasant to think about, the animals that eat eggs and fledglings have to get their nourishment too, and may have young of their own to provide for.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
