Hope you are all having a pleasant Sunday afternoon and evening. Decided to post this now, instead of tomorrow.High humidity has forced me indoors. Below is 25 more bird photos taken in Arkansas by me. I will also be including a few links to sites so you can identify birds and birding locations.....

This is a female House Finch. The male is almost the same as a Purple Finch,
 except the House Finch has brown marks on its sides.

A male American Goldfinch

Female European Starling

Male European Starling

At first I thought this may be a red-tailed Hawk.
 If you look closely it has a black line on its cheek under its eye.
I now believe this to be a Osprey.

This is a Dark-eyed Junco. It hung around all of March and I have not seen one since.

American Robin

Baltimore Oriole feeding on the ground under the feeder.

Arkansas State Bird- Northern Mockingbird

Hermit Thrush

Northern Mockingbird

Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher

This is why you don't leave food unattended on your picnic table.

Male and Female Canada Geese and their goslings

Baird's Sandpiper

Eastern Bluebird

Male Cowbird

Male House Finch- notice the brown markings on his sides?
 That's what makes it different from a Purple Finch.

The Common Grackle is like a blackbird except it has yellow eyes.

Northern Mockingbird

Yellow_Bellied Sapsucker- A type of Woodpecker. This was attracted to an orange half.

 Every State has a state bird, Arkansans named the Mockingbird their state bird in 1929. We are home to more than 400 species of birds, including the endangered Red-cocked woodpecker. Birding has become a very popular hobby. Some have a list of the birds they have seen or heard. The songs of birds can be very deceiving though as many birds are capable mimicking. Just this morning I watched as 4 or 5 crows landed on top of a neighbors home. I was surprised to hear them make giggling sounds, the songs of cowbirds (which sound like water drops) and of all things Turkey noises. So, always spot a bird to identify it or you may be mistaken. Here are those links so that you can identify all those birds you see: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ ,  http://identify.whatbird.com/mwg/_/0/attrs.aspx , http://arbirds.org/aas_dbase.html .  Happy Birding!
