Colonel,
You have the rest of the Florida birds I need down there in Florida. I need the birds from Miami to the keys. I would most likely need an 80MM spotting scope to see them flying above the ocean.

Wy hawks, vultures, eagles- they all seem to like fresh meat(or even if its a lill old) But i dont feed them i just watch them a bit & the white pelicans.

Only ones we do feed is the summer hummers- winter is to windy for feeders but we do throw some seed on the ground sometimes or hang pieces of fat- so not to much feeding do we do or is there the numbers or varity of smaller colorfull birds like down in the south.

Yes they are.

Snail Kite
Rufous Hummingbird
Hairy Woodpecker
King Rail
White Crowned Pigeon
Flamingo

Shiny Blackbird{ Finch like beak with red eyes}
Buff breasted Sandpiper
Spot breasted oriole
White tailed Kite
Wilson's Phalarope
White rumped Sandpiper
and many more that fly over the water.WOW making that list makes me want to drive on down there.

Chuck, I got home this evening and one of my feeders was just about 1/2 full and the otherI saw 2 little birds on it, one was real brite yellow with just a little black on his wings and the other looked like the same kind of bird but with just a little yellow tint to it and alot of brown, I imagine somekind of finch, really nice to see the little boogers. Also had one sitting on the edge of the bird bath Shirley got, first one I have even saw close to it LOL, I told her its big enough to give a buzzard a bath LOL.

I checked your Missouri checklist out. It caused me to sin .I'm burning with jealousy.They only visit a few feeders in Florida during Dec. and they are both brown then.The male may have a hint of a pale yellow . However...the wings stay black.

New to bird watcing,although one of my sons has been at it for a long time.
I have put up 4 bluebird houses.Not a whole lot of them up here, but they are coming back ,I believe. American finches, we are loaded with.They are a very active little thing. And of course tree swallows.We also have a bunch of Grossbeaks, the males are beautiful.But I have a book to identify and I am interested.
