We have a number of them hanging around and my wife tells me they have been here for a few weeks already. A bunch of them nested in trees on my property last year. They have a cool hanging nest, like a bag or purse. (put out fruit, oranges and apples if you want to attract them)
Below are a few photos I took last year of the Mother feeding her crew. When she showed up at the nest it was a really noisy, as soon as she left it was dead silence.


My favorite bird song is the red winged black bird, it brings back a lot of childhood memories goofing around near the water.
Humming birds are fun to watch too. Get one of those window humming bird feeders and put it on a window right next to a chair...you can watch them inches from your face
