My Favorite Backyard Birds

I have several wild birds that I consider my favorites. What is yours?

• There are backyard birds that are at my feeders everyday like juncos, chickadees, downy woodpeckers and goldfinches.
• There are others that stop by at different times of the year such as rose-breasted grosbeaks, ruby-throated hummingbirds, indigo buntings and evening grosbeaks.
• There are still more wild birds that do not feed at my bird feeders, but can be attracted with water, like robins and mourning doves.

If you are new to birding, you will soon begin to recognize certain birds that come around each day. You will become familiar with which wild bird foods they prefer, how they interact with the other birds, the times that they arrive and so on. Soon you will have your own favorite birds.

There are about 800 species of birds in North America. You could probably find about 100 species near and around where you live. Your backyard is a great place to start enjoying the incredible hobby of bird watching.
