I tried to see how many I could photograph... Northern Cardinal "cheer-cheer-cheer...purty-purty-purty!" House Finch ..various three-note phrases American Goldfinch...trills and twitters Black-capped Chickadee...we all know his dee-dee song, but here he is singing his "fee-beee" two note song. Eastern Bluebird..."chur chur-lee chur-lee?" as if he's asking a question... And the songster that is out singing all the birds right now, the master himself; Brown Thrasher. He sings an endless variation of double phrase songs...loudly! (tough shot through the branches; hopefully he'll come out into the open one time!) Oh...one more "songster" down in the pond, but sort of a loud croaking sound-lol Pixc - Ontario, Zone "Z5b"   Calendula  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - 09:29 am EST :    A great big thank you Carol, for outstanding camera work. The pictures are priceless. And as a bonus you captured all birds in "singing mode". How wonderful. And,,,,, the brown thrasher ! Personally I am waiting,,,,,,,, I miss his most melodic song. The Mr. Cardinal comes to the ground in our back yard after we raked it, he and many others still find seeds. He does not like to come to the feeder. I think it is the type of feeder we have. Will get one like you have next coming winter.

Beautiful pics...and my favorite is the last singer there!

The air here is filled with birdsong at the moment and I just love it. Someone in my office was complaining the other day that the birds wake him up - I would much rather that than an alarm clock!

Soon we will be seeing baby toads (little dime sized guys) hopping around. I cannot wait! Duckwatcher - Northern California, Zone "9b"   Pixc  Supporting Member My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - 04:04 pm EST :    Thanks everyone! Hopefully I can add some more singers that I missed! Cal, I find the cardinals prefer the kind of feeders with a bit of a ledge to perch on such as the hopper style feeder, or the type with the open tray area. DW, the toads haven't started up here as yet, but by mid summer..wow are they loud! But having lived long ago in the big city I'll listen to that over traffic noises anyday!

I think I can actually hear them too! Seil - Michigan, Zone "6"   Blue_sage  Posted on Thursday, April 24, 2008 - 06:34 am EST :    What a magnificent series of photos, Carol! To capture each one singing...just amazing:) Oh how I wish the Cardinals came to our region..they are so lovely. LOL..throwing the toad in there..handsome fella!

Wonderful photos! I enjoy hearing the birds too. Now and then we have a frog under the house (we live in a rancher with a crawl space) and he/she can be loud. But it's all nature and we love it. Cheerful posting. Thanks, Carol!
