This is a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. I think this is the first time I have photographed a Yellow-billed Cuckoo.

This bird feeds mainly on hairy caterpillars and cicadas. Sounds so yummy. I mean, they eat other incects as well as bird eggs, snails, and small vertebrates (frogs and lizards). They do consume some berries as well. Interesting diet.

Catching Flys

This flycatcher is called an Eastern Wood-Pewee. It is a small flycatcher with a grey-olive upper-part and pale gray underpart. Any bird that can catch a fly is a cool, fast bird.

Hey, I Know You …

We visited our son and his family last week. As we were heading out, I heard this beautiful mockingbird .. it took me a couple minuets to locate her, but perhaps she recognized me? 🤣.

This is a Northern Mockingbird .. I love this fact about the northern mockingbird:

The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats. Also birds recognize their breeding spots and return to areas in which they had greatest success in previous years. Urban birds are more likely to demonstrate this behavior. (Wikipedia)

Indigo Bunting

June 11 and I finally saw an Indigo Bunting. This is my 1st of 2020. I was beginning to think they were in quarantine somewhere south of here. I love this bird.

Made For Working On Wood

Adjustments.jpeg

The Northern Flicker is a very cool bird. This is a ‘medium size woodpecker’ with great colors! One look at that beak and you know its made to work on wood.

As you walk through the woods next time, listen close .. during nesting season they call out: “Peah”. (Sorry, best I can do).
