= new reply since forum marked as read
Like my guy, John Denver, whose album cover "Aerie" I posted yesterday, and the song: "Eagle and the Hawk."
If not ignoring song birds, then those wonderful little yellow finches that have made a Colorado comeback after years of near decimation from West Nile Virus infection.
Love the video, too!
Eagle fanatic here!
In the Pacific northwest we call them blue jays.
Many birds go by that name, but I’m referring to the one I know - the gray catbird.
Fed em (when I shouldn't have) in boot camp a long time ago. Fed em off numerous ships/boats and ashore.
What could it be?
Seagull of course. 
One often followed me from my car in the parking lot into work many mornings. Air support?
A few facts from their FAQ page.
https://birdsarentreal.com/pages/faq
What do you mean ‘Birds Aren’t Real’?
The term “Birds Aren’t Real” refers to biological “Birds” no longer existing on United States soil. After the government forcibly made the entire species extinct in the 20th century, all of these real birds were replaced with surveillance drones designed to look just like Birds. To simplify- Birds no longer exist in the U.S. as a biological lifeform, thus, Birds Aren’t Real!
What is bird poop?
Bird poop was originally thought to be oil discharge from earlier bird drone models. After further research though, this was disproven. Bird poop irregularly falls on vehicles in large amounts. Recent studies show that 87% of Bird Poop in populated areas falls on people’s cars. Why is this? Confidential documents leaked in 2018 revealing that “Bird Poop” is actually a form of liquidated tracking apparatus. If you walk outside and notice some bird poop just “happened” to fall on your car, be aware that you are now being tracked by the United States Government. It is recommended you clean your car exterior regularly to avoid this.
Green herons, to answer your question.
to watch. as a class, the couple buld the nest., lay the eggs and see the baby birds. It was an experience. Thank you for pulling those memories back.
When I was a kid, we were taking a Sunday drive to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and about 10 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge, along I-75, there were 9 Arctic/Snowy Owls perched on old fence posts along the highway. They were huge and they were stunning.
They looked like this:
spring and summer. And I love them. We have various woodpeckers in my neighborhood. I can sear them but not see them. Yes; birds are very useful and beautiful creatures.

If you would have told me 20 years ago I would become a birder. I would have called you crazy, but here I am. Managing 6 or more feeding stations. My favorite bird(s) change with the seasons. Presently purple martins are my favorite. Or perhaps humming birds, can’t forget the eastern bluebirds, or the orioles, maybe red wing blackbirds that nest in our cattails? See where I’m going here, lol.
Unfortunately we only have two mating pairs of martins this year because we also have a mating pair of red shoulder hawks. And they have grown fond of using the Martin house as their perch. If I could post a picture. I would post a pic (or 10 ) of our latest pets, a pair of wild turkeys.
Okay I’ll stop now because I truly love birds.
Hey look what I just learned to do……
sharing and for your love of birds. Littlered
