America's Best Songbird

Bill Lyman

Robin

castles

Imagine yourself in a spring forest at dusk at the end of the day, listening to the touching song of a thrush. And soon you may be inspired to write a love letter to that singer, as Thoreau did in his 1852 journal, praising the Wood Thrush's evocation of "the flowing freshness of things drawn from the depths of springs." The simple ee-oh-lay style followed by the rumble is chilling, no doubt, but it is the twilight setting that makes it pure magic.

Another lily of the valley with a very tasty song. The simple song of this bird, a pink circular repetition of its name, comes at dawn and dusk in the dark woods and goes straight to the listener's romantic heart.

The Hermit Thrush song is neither sweet nor heartbreaking, but its fluid, fast-paced melody resonates in our ears because it follows some of our own musical scales, a trait the researchers confirmed only last November. They carefully analysed the recordings

Finally, a bird so common that one would never be tempted to take a second look: the American robin Take a few minutes to listen to it and you'll see that it shares the Castles family's musical talents. Get up early to hear Robin's birdsong.

wren

An unstoppable cascade of dollar notes pours from the throat of the tireless little House Wren, one of our favorite backyard birds. Build a nesting box with a 1-1/8 inch entrance and you have a good chance of hosting a whole family. Homegrown ham is talented, but every ham has sounds that lift your ears.

Orioles

Loud, clear songs and whistles are the hallmark of these brightly coloured birds. Oranges, jellies, sugar, water and fat will bring them to your garden. Learn how to shoot orioles.

Birds and generations

Each of our house sparrows (over twenty species) has a song, and many are sweet and melodic. Listen for the brown-striped songbird that begins to sing in late winter. Homemade sparrows are among the first songs to start an intricate tweet soon after the year begins. This species prefers seeds, so stock up on white millet for sparrows and sunflower seeds for sparrows and niggers for your party.

imitation stranglehold

Northern birds, grey cats and porpoises have lovely songs, but they can also imitate other sounds. You will hear them singing at dawn, in the evening and throughout the day. Sometimes they also sing at night. Particularly sarcastic birds can go to extremes, lingering for hours on the surface above your bed. Learn more about anchovies.

great resources

Less common than other songbirds, pink, black-headed and blue-headed orchids are all melodic warriors in their nesting areas or along their spring migration routes. Once they become scarce in the varieties, they visit more and more. They will eagerly eat sunflower seeds, as well as sweet berries from shrubs or trees. Learn about the grosbeaks that birders need to know.

The most famous raven's beak is the one you don't usually think of, although its heavy beak indicates otherwise. He is the Northern Cardinal, one of the beautiful barnyard singers. Learn what it's like to read a cardinal.

Summer Tangier

Tanagers

It's usually a red-letter day to see - or hear - a hummingbird, as these birds are not as abundant as other songbirds. However, keep your ears open for their long robin-like songs, especially during spring migration, when they can stop in any backyard. Some Tangier songs are of high quality, suggesting "Robin with a Sore Throat".

starling

Starlings What are low starlings among beautiful beauties?Well, it's also a great singer. More importantly, starlings start singing in winter, just when they sense that spring will never come. Read more about the notorious backyard birds.

Attract more songbirds to your garden

Insects and Fruits is the natural menu for many of our greatest hits, including thrushes, aurioles, tangers, lily of the valley imitations and many grosbeaks.Plus il y a d'arbres, d'arbustes et d'autres plantes dans votre jardin, plus vous avez de chances d'entendre ces oiseaux se nourrir d'insectes et d'autres aliments naturels.

Many songbirds are new to eating, so give yourself a variety of suggestions: milk, mealworms, oranges, apples, peeled bananas and grapes are a good start. Feel free to experiment too. When I threw small pieces of dried papaya into the feeder, a grey cat bird and Baltimore Aurola took turns picking them up. The more trees, shrubs, and other plants there are in your garden, the more likely you are to hear these birds feeding on insects and other natural foods. Sparrows, pine nuts, house sparrows and canaries prefer seeds at the feeder. Another must-see is the bird bath. This is a great attraction for all songbirds.
