They are sort of neat with their unique call, saying their name,
at least until you're trying to get to sleep. One of them is back
again as I write this.

I don't think we have Catbirds this far North, and not many birds that
are really colourful. Bluejays are common and Robins but more than
anything else here I see Seagulls, Crows and a few types of Woodpeckers,
plus Swallows and Chickadees for the smaller ones.

But there are lots of hunting type birds here, Hawks and Eagles and
Turkey Vultures. The county builds nesting spots on high towers for
the Osprey Eagles to nest on. For some reason they encourage those
more than anything else.
