Birds!
I'm happy to report that I can identify many of the common birds around here. It's harder than expected since males and females sometimes look different, breeding and non-breeding males sometimes look different, juveniles look different.

We've seen the Pileated Woodpecker here (well, Jacob and the girls). I thought that was cool because they're so big. Other than that I'm pretty bad at identifying birds.
Impressive
We have a lot of common grackles and robins around our house lately. I did see a male and female cardinal and some sort of wood pecker, but I haven't been able to look up what type.
Jo, look at the beaks of the grackles. If they are yellow, they are not grackles, but European starlings. They are everywhere, and invasive species.
