I went on a short walk today to do this activity, and saw a red tail hawk, a bunch of robins and sparrows and grackles, a goldfinch, and I think an oriole (I couldn’t get close enough to get a good look.) I’m looking forward to improving my identification skills, especially recognizing songs.   But my favorite birds in my neighborhood are some plain old English sparrows who have a nest under the roof of my neighbor’s house, right at eye level from my apartment balcony. I know they can be bullies and they’re invasive, but I love watching this pair work together to build their nest. They have such great communication and such ingenuity. I’m really rooting for them!
