Sounds like you need some decent binoculars!
Yep. I have an awesome variety of birds in my yard now, the latest include a sighting of a Baltimore Oriole, Rose-breasted Grossbeaks (at least 4 regulars now), a Bluebird who has become a regular at the birdbath, several Mockingbirds, Brown Thrashers (early in the mornings after it rains, usually), Hummers and just yesterday I saw several of what I have since learned are Kildeer (thanks to the bird thread), although those weren't in my yard. I am studying on enticements though.
