Blue birds are another well hidden bird. Grosbeaks are all along Michigan’s Au Sable River. They’re so thick that I used to think it was just one bird that followed us along, day after day.

All beautiful birds, except for the indigo bunting, Baltimore oriole and bluebird they have all paid me a visit. Never heard of indigo bunting, what a stunning blue color. I love getting glimpse of the scarlet tanager taking a bath in bird bath, which he certainly enjoys. No need to look up at forest line as in late afternoon I keep eye on bird bath one week I saw him days in a row splashing around. The goldfinches, visited for a week in late spring, but have not been back, hoping that come winter by not cutting back echinacea they will return to eat seed, supposed to be a favorite of theirs. In winter though there is nothing like the sight of papa cardinal sitting on snow covered pine tree, just gorgeous.

Being in Miami, my favorite backyard bird is... Painted Bunting. I’ve had a small group for the last few years. They are surprisingly easy to see, often right outside my window. The clash of colors are outrageous, a sight to behold! Other favorites are Boat-Tailed Grackle (full of personality), American Redstart (animated, abundant, and flashy), Red-Masked Parakeet (neat social behavior), Grey Catbird and Ovenbird (both curious and friendly when I’m in the yard). Also from your video, I love having Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, and Cedar Waxwing around. Scarlet Tanager too, for its flaming red, and always being a rare treat to spot. Should also mention the Peacock. One showed up 6 years ago and never left, this year a female has joined him. They are very tame and always fun to watch. Of the ones in your video that we don’t see in my area, the Evening Grosbeak is my favorite. It has a beautiful blend of colors. Your videos are great! Thanks

I never saw any parents. I did not see any Nuthatch babies. Nor did I see any Downy or Hairy Woodpecker babies. I have a nice a size pond at the back of the house. The red shoulder’d hawks sit for over an hour up in the dogwoods around the pond. Waiting patiently. They brought one large baby. They nest back in my woods. No owl babies appeared.

Male, rose-breasted grosbeaks are probably the most stunning of the uncommon birds that visit my backyard in the spring. The most stunning year-round has to be cardinals. I can have dozen of them at once in the winter. Their red makes for such a beautiful contrast against the snow. Oh, and I can't forget that one magical day where the four evening grosbeaks stopped briefly at my feeders. Such a rare sighting in my parts.

Another great video! Thank you! I live in Northwest Washington State, and don't get many eastern birds. We do have Varied Thrushes, and often hear their eerily beautiful song. Also here, Stellers Jays, Cedar Waxwings, and Evening Grossbeaks. My favorite is our Summer Tanagers, in their flourescent red, orange and yellow plumage. So tropical looking in such a non-tropical place, they are like flying flames.

American Goldfinches are my favorite small songbird 🥰 Growing up I always had a couple thistle socks in the maple tree and spring/summer the tree was always bristling with little yellow birds. 💛

Behind my first apartment back in the 1970s a pair of goldfinches had built a nest in a Canadian thistle, which made it easy for us to observe them.

My totem bird is the Vermilion Flycatcher. The male catches your eye while he swings on a telephone cable, but the female with her peachy belly and white fluffy throat is equally beautiful. And they hunt together. Best wishes to all from southwestern Mexico.

Very nice list and excellent photos of these beautiful birds. My favorite is the Red-headed Woodpecker, which I have only seen once. I would add 2 species from the west side of North America-the Western Tanager, sadly becoming harder to find, and the very familiar, at least in most of Western Canada, Black-billed Magpie. A lot of people do not like magpies, as they are noisy, overly common in many places, and disliked for their egg predation. But to see an adult with its long tail and beautiful irridescent blue and green plumage, as well as the contrasting black and white, is to see a very attractive bird.

I'm camping right now, but, I'm leaving today. I saw LOTS of cardinals being cute and making a funny sound.

I have a number of red headed woodpeckers in my neighborhood that stuck around when the land got developed because there’s still plenty of their favorite trees left. I can’t get them to come to my feeders, but they love the seeds of the magnolia trees in my backyard.

I am blessed to have most of these beautiful birds in my backyard. Excited to say the Eastern Blue Bird has raised several families in the nest boxes. The best part of seeing and watching birds is how it settles you into happiness.

That is really neat about you having Eastern Bluebirds raise several broods in the nest boxes. I agree, watching birds does give a wonderful sense of joy. Thanks for the nice comment. Have a great day!

A surprise favorite include the red headed woodpecker, the black one with red/white shoulers and the last one the red with black wings. The Oriole was a beauty too as was the neon yellow guy. The Cardinal is my favorite though
