A sweet little bee skep!
The singing continues!
Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon subspecies)
A Bewick's Wren
Singing and singing
And Singing and Singing!
A male Black-headed Grosbeak
Also singing up a storm.
I've had a lot of fun this spring using Cornell University's birding app - Merlin.
The app is free and assists in IDing birds by sight, with photos, and with sound.
I've been using the sound to help me ID birds and figure out my Dawn Chorus:
Black-throated Gray Warblers, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Robins, Black-capped Chickadees, Steller's Jays, and Western Tanagers. The sound ID can easily misidentify, so use good judgement before deciding you have a "Rare Bird". It has helped me tremendously in recognizing some of my summer common singers, and some more obscure birds like a Cassin's Vireo. I encourage you to give it a try.
