I'm blessed with a lot of foliage in and around the yard, and as a result, I'm blessed with lots of birds that visit. The other day I was writing with the window open and I heard so many calls. I began to list in my mind the birds I have come to learn by sight, and the list was pretty long (for me, not to a real birder!). I am trying to learn them by call, too.
I thought this video was perfect. The videographer records backyard common bird calls, shows them live in a tree or at his feeder, then posts a photo with label and lingers on it for a few seconds so you can really see the details. It goes at just the right pace.
Here is my list of Birds I have seen in my yard

One of the birds we see all the time here in Colorado is magpies. You should google pictures of them - they're beautiful birds!
I meant to ask - are you the photographer for all the pictures?
I'll look up the magpies. I don't think I've ever seen one!
Yes, I took all the pics ;)
They're really lovely...I thought some of them were from online magazines!
