I love seeing the various bird life as I go outside and tend the green babies!
Yesterday I saw a blue splash of jay. We have a little mama Brown Thrasher with a nest right next to my okra sunflower bed.

We had those in Lower Alabama, too. Not seen one in my backyard here.
Seen 3 different woodpeckers, one quite large, others regular size, like red headed WP. I have an oak tree that the WP’s are killing, pecking a band all the way around it about 3” wide.
My dad was a birder back when they were called bird watchers, but I never learned much about them, but I do have his books, and, strangely enough, he had one on E Texas birds! Since moving to the edge of a huge national forest, and a swamp/creek system, we seen and hear all sorts of birds, especially in spring and migration season.
