Where do you like to bird watch? What birds do you enjoy watching the most?
I live in Southern California, but I was also curious where others like to go. I think my favorite bird is the brown pelican. Not only are they just amazing to just look at, but I love watching them feed.
I like to bird watch everywhere, I live in Northern Ontario, Canada. Birdwatching at any of the hundreds of lakes around here is pretty rewarding I see alot of Common Loons, Hooded Mergansers, Bald Eagles, Black Ducks, Great Blue Herons, Spotted Sandpipers, (it sure is fun to watch a “teeter-tail” lol) and I absolutely love to watch Barn Swallows skimming the water for insects, they are so cheeky and fiesty I saw some chase a hawk away one time.. Another bird that I have recently seen more of is the Caspian Tern.. It was amazing when I was down at this creek by my house there was a Caspian Tern flying around and then he dove straight into the water which was spectacular! I love the call Loons make it is beautiful, and another bird with an interesting call is the American Bittern… I have only seen one once but I hear them alot they make the craziest sound you can imagine, listen here if you want.. http://www.uwgb.edu/birds/wbba/species/audios/BITTERN__AMERICAN.MP3
Also I love watching fields for birds.. I used to watch Sandhill Cranes which was awesome they also make a neat sound and they are lovely birds, especially when they get dancing and calling their rattling cry its spectacular! http://www.uwgb.edu/birds/wbba/species/audios/CRANE__SANDHILL.MP3
Fields also sport alot of American Kestrels, and Northern Harrier Hawks which are just great fun to watch gliding over the fields scanning for prey, they are beautiful birds as well.
Some small birds I love to watch are American Goldfinches, Common Redpolls, Pine Siskins(they crack me up when they spin upside down to eat out of the feeder), Purple Finches, Chickadees, Red-breasted Nuthatch, White breasted nuthatch I call them little beepers cause they make beeping sounds and the White breasted makes a sound like a cellphone sometimes its uncanny. Another favorite bird of mine is the Brown Thrasher.. they are striking birds with an unmistakeable call that just blows your mind with its variation and complexity.. http://www.uwgb.edu/birds/wbba/species/audios/THRASHER__BROWN.MP3
The Veery is one I have been tryong to see but I havent caught a glimpse of one yet, but after a long search I found that they are the mystery “rainbow bird” that I kept hearing and loved the sound of.. I dont know why but their song prompted me to call it a rainbow bird just because thats what the sound made me think of.. http://www.uwgb.edu/birds/wbba/species/audios/VEERY.MP3
Also White throated sparrows, White crowned sparrows, Crows, Ravens,
Geez there are so many birds I love ot watch and hear I enjoy watching them all I guess.. some are more interesting to hear and some to see.
