Learning Bird calls and songs is a very important part of growing your craft of birding.
Like this bird here...if not for hearing the song I would not have looked hard for it and found it...the Swainson's Warbler.
play 3 seconds song
A White Eyed Vireo is a very vocal bird...and this is one of his calls
Just a 3 second clip of the bird and call..
he found a grub or spider to eat...
And GOSLINGS! Not many but we will take it.

Summer Tanagers are in my yard looking for a nest mate...
They are a delightful shade of Orangey Red...
And this first year male Orchard Oriole is multicolored with gold, yellows, blacks and greys...
Other First of the Season birds of this week are the Yellow Breasted Chat...another bird with a loud and boisterous call..
I also saw Indigo Bunting this week I hope to get some good photos of him next time out I wasn't successful in capturing any good looks this week...They were all around the edges of this wide open field...a new birding spot for me. It's nearby, it's a dirt road with no homes on it....all rural forest and fields.
Lots of Savannah Sparrow, and this is one of our May Challenge birds, along with Indigo Bunting, and Eastern Towhee.
And I will leave you with a look at the vernal pool that I monitor...it's quite large now...
