Okay, I think the Dark Eyed or Oregon Junco is a handsome little bird. I love to see them in the yard, stopping by for a cool drink of water and a bath. BUT, their call to each other is a dead ringer for squeaky car brakes.
I have a yard full of Junco's. I am getting very tired of their constant calling to one another. High pitched squeaky brakes. Okay, okay, I may be a little bit at fault for teasing that one little fellow with the recording, but that was a month ago. Time to come up with a new song.
The Mountain Chickadee and Nuthatch songs are a little less irritating, but really kids, try some thing new.
Saw the American Pipit again yesterday. I'd never seen one before, so nice to get a new sighting on my list. The female Western Tanager still comes in to the bird bath, but her mate just won't come near the house. I see him from time to time out back and spotted him once on the empty lot next door, but he won't come any where near human or dog activity. He is so pretty, one of the most colorful birds in the NW and while she is very pretty, colorful she's not.
Ah, a couple Chickadee's getting a morning drink.
