He actually gets a bit irritating after a while.<br /><br />Barbara - I think the open water is less important than the open space along the banks. I do wish we had bluebirds, but we do occasionally see Indigo Buntings which are just as beautiful.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-273323708980673492013-04-12T10:12:27.016-04:002013-04-12T10:12:27.016-04:00You do have quite the variety; love them all.

On occasion I spot some small finches, but I'm not sure what kind they are besides the cute kind. :)Busy Bee Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115487928147732314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-70169418800103269122013-04-11T22:06:02.604-04:002013-04-11T22:06:02.604-04:00We have lots of goldfinch, but alas, no cardinals....We have lots of goldfinch, but alas, no cardinals. <br />You have a lovely collection of birds in your neighborhood.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509431336916594990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-84607088523546326062013-04-11T18:15:14.230-04:002013-04-11T18:15:14.230-04:00Your environment must contain all that many types ...Your environment must contain all that many types of birds desire. Bluebirds are a favorite of mine. We have two creeks in our "holler" and I notice that the blue birds prefer to nest around one over the other? Bird behavior fascinates me.

I hear them cooing all day. No doubt chicks will soon join them.Taradharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665801586196931603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-51380361861786772462013-04-11T11:08:40.837-04:002013-04-11T11:08:40.837-04:00Such a beautiful array of colors and song they bri...Such a beautiful array of colors and song they bring every spring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-90033555664531011362013-04-11T06:54:42.146-04:002013-04-11T06:54:42.146-04:00Beautiful!!

Titmouses? around here. They will get your attention! We generally have a pair or two of Cardinals and a few Goldfinches. I see the occasional House Finch, but no Purple Finches. And of course the Downies and the occasional Red-bellied woodpeckers, along with a host of sparrows. I am enjoying our local runs and fens right now, filled with song!Carolina Lintheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335905555994442416noreply@blogger.com
