Birds Everywhere!!!!

I have a brown thrasher that came back again this year and a bunch of Harris sparrows. I never could figure out what the Harris sparrow were, they are so big I never looked at sparrow pages when trying to see what they were. They look more like a black headed grosbeak. I finally have red breasted grosbeaks again, have not seen them for years in any numbers. So far, so good.

Just had a strange one.    There was a bird that looked a lot like a hairy woodpecker sitting in the grass pecking away.   Flew away, was back in a very short time doing it some more.   Was not a flicker, they are brown with yellow.   This was black and white and robin sized.   Is this the evil sapsucker?   Eating ants?

I'm noticing the gold finches have disappeared. I had some coming to the feeders now basically none. i was thinking nesting but I looked them up and they don't nest until July.

  The other birds are going nuts a jar of jelly only lasts 3 days. 

Just would like to keep the tree rat out of the feeders.

Once again almost all my birds have disappeared. I had my yard sprayed for mosquitoes, do you think there is any Correlation? Could it be a smell or something to do with the chemicals?

Sure am overrun with dragonflies this year,  there must still be bugs in the air. Never seen so many dragonflies, I had a thought maybe all the gnats and other flying bugs won’t land in my grass so the air above the yard is a feast?!?

My guess is a phoebe. However the phoebe and the eastern kingbird do look a lot alike. 


I’m going with eastern phoebe after reading about both.  Small bird - smaller than how a kingbird is described.

We have phoebe's nesting in our yard and when they are perched they flick their tail a lot.
