Taking Inventory On The New-Yard Birds

 As of this year I am watching birds from a new backyard. Of course I am curious as to what types of bird species are in my new neighborhood. So far my most vocal neighbors are a pair of Red-shouldered Hawks which make their presence known with their loud keyeeer keyeeer calls. No need for an alarm clock in the morning because they are up before dawn.

Also, I must remember to hydrate when I'm cutting the grass or the local Black Vultures might come to investigate if I were to pass out.

There are lots of mature trees in the yard so hopefully it will be nice foliage when the time comes. I also noticed some Pileated Woodpeckers in the neighborhood so hopefully they will visit the suet feeder.
