I just want to learn and know the different types of birds i have here in Central Texas .. I love watching them at my feeders. Each day I seem to get nee faces. Would love to know more

I have a few new birds in my yard here in Oakdale CT….she is very tan atop and down her back and throat yet a beautiful muted orange on her belly and under tail…her song is shrill yet enticing…I think it’s an oriole or tanager female because I’ve also seen the male drinking from my hummingbird feeder and he is bright orange with black wings, head and throat….but the female was unique in her coloration- dull on top and bright underneath…. I’ll try to contribute pictures or whatever cuz I love birds and can finally start enjoying more being retired… thanks for your help

I'm going to get my binoculars out, but I am seeing what appears to be a tiny little bird in my yard in NKY. It is smaller than my pinky nail. About the size of a pencil eraser. Dark in color with a red or brown chest/crest. They perform a lot of aerial acrobatics (territorial?) with other birds of the same size/family. Bird descriptions call birds small at 3-5 inches in size and don't discuss really tiny birds. These birds are much smaller than hummingbirds and don't appear to have a long bill. Has anyone else noticed a bird this small in their locale. I detected them for the first time when looking for hummingbirds. They appear to be tiny birds not insects. Though quite small they have bodies that appear bird like and not like insects Bill Anderson

I love watching the different kinds of birds come to my feeder. I try to identify them, this app really helps.

I hope I got them all right and I do like to test if I know my bird when they come around the yard even the hummerbird.
