re: What Is Your Favorite Bird?

You got my favorite which is tied at the top with Tree Swallows. I have a colony at my place and I can watch them fly for hours.
In sort of a conflict of interest, I also love the Cooper's and Sharp Shinned Hawks we have in this area, even though they often attempt to take out my martins. That's why I encourage the slow, dim-witted doves to hang around....they are easy targets for the hawks and give the other birds a chance to get away.
