I was out in the woods with my husband one day. He'd spot birds with the binoculars and describe them to me. He was describing some Chickadees to me, but insisted they weren't Chickadees. I knew they were because I could hear them off in the distance where he was looking.

I finally told him we'll have to agree to disagree because they were too far away for me to see. Just at that moment, a Chickadee few over and perched on a branch right where we were sitting. My husband said I don't play fair. He said either I have all the wild birds trained to my command - or he's married to Snow White.

This made me laugh.....thanks to you and your husband

The chickadees have the most distictive call for me. But I can always tell if a hawk is in the yard because the song birds are quiet, and the blue jays become so loud they are obnoxious. The blue Jays really like to bother the hawk also, they seem to fly at him & make a lot of noise. He usually just sits there with an eye on his next meal.

We also have a pond in the backyard, so we get 2 different kinds of Herons. The blues are very large, majestic birds, but quiet. The greens are smaller, but boy can they make noise.
