Many years ago, I was looking at some ducks at a near by lake and some kind person came and started telling us all sorts of neat bird facts about them. Since then, I like knowing about birds, but I've never bothered to go out specifically to watch them. I do, however, try to always bring treats for the numerous corvids in my neighborhood and will one day befriend them!

i love watching birds but wouldn't call it "bird watching." we've been putting feed out on a tray and enjoying the bird dynamics on our porch. the doves are my favorite but the stellar's jay is very beautiful. no "classic" american crows have come by which is weird since i can hear them but there have been some blue jays.

there are red shouldered hawks living around us and i see/hear them daily....i keep wondering if they are gonna buzz our porch and grab one of the herbivorous birds pecking at our feed.

I live by a lil lake and we get some dope birds around it. My favorite is the black-crowned night heron, they're weird lil guys that look like they don't have a neck most of the time but every so often they'll stick their heads out and remind you they're herons. Also we have loads of crows, and every evening at sunset they all gather up in big groups and fill up the trees and rooftops and have a big meeting.
