Anyway, for the 4 months since we moved here, there have been these very loud, large coastal looking birds in a huge tree a few houses down. They would make all kinds of noises, day time and the middle of the night! It wasn’t till that past couple months I started noticing a ritual every evening as the sun set. They fly away sometimes one, two or three at a time and they make a barking noise. I have counted up to 12 and 13 coming out of the tree! They have a large wing span, mostly whitish/grey coloring. I’ve tried looking them up, but I’m still not positive what kind of bird they are! Any ideas?

I used to have SO many & the feeders would empty at an almost alarming rate. About a month ago they just up & left!! The feeders are still full & I’m hoping they’ll be back!!

I filled the goldfinch feeder with thistle and by afternoon, there were a few more. This morning I have a flock of them, eating thistle at an alarming rate. I love them, and I’m hoping they plan on staying the winter.

For several months now we have three immature Kites in the neighborhood !
They are so beautiful and have such an interesting voice.
A young mockingbird who is just learning has started mocking them.
We hope they stay around and nest here next spring !!!
