What kinds of birds do you get in your region?

Where I am?
Around the place I live, around spring and very very early summer, we get a lot of robins
also a good number of seagulls time to time in the summer

One thing to keep in mind: "gull" is the more accurate terminology (and it's easier to type and say!). Assuming you live in America, the gulls you have in the summer are very likely to be Ring-Billed gulls, those are your common gulls you can find. Depending on where you live, you could have other gull species too; here in LA, we get California and Western Gulls mixed in with our Ring-Billeds (ring-bills come here in the winter).

Robins are great sights, especially American Robins! I don't usually see them here but they do live in my city; I can find them if I go in a certain park in the early morning.

Thx 4 that info
Yeah I love American robins the orange on their chest is just so pretty

Fun fact: American Robins aren't related to their European cousins. They're more similar to thrushes (European Robins are old world flycatchers). They're named because they both share a reddish breast.

I've been having a fun time drawing the birds that I wrote down too
Birds make for really good characters designs
A long time ago I made this one robin that I really do want to redesign with more research put into it

@Striker Mario has drawn bird characters before, she can share you some of hers if she can find them.

That would be awesome

Oh please talk to me and my sister more as well as Hooded Pithoui (named after a bird of the same name), we're hobbyists and just casual birders. What bird names did you write down? I also love the taxonomy parts of the museum too!

Sorry for replying late, notifications are acting weird
Well let's see :
yeah, I wrote a lot ha
I'm casual too and I honestly have a lot like a lot more to learn about terminology and such, but I've been doing my research and learning
Edit : Also heck yeah I'm always down to talk more about birds with fellow bird appreciators

you listed great blue heron twice

I saw those things before. One time on a roof of a house. It was really freaky to see one in the middle of the suburbs on top of someone's home.

Oops sorry lol

By the way, if you take a look around your own area you live, you'd be surprised your area has a variety of species than just House Sparrows, House Finches, Rock Doves, Mourning Doves, and American Crows.

I live in suburban California and we still get (depending on the season) Northern Flickers, Black Phoebes, Say's Phoebes, Dark-eyed Juncos, Northern Mockingbirds, Western Bluebirds, Hooded Orioles, Allen's Hummingbirds, Cedar Waxwings, Barn Swallows, Bushtits, Western Scrubjays, Lesser Goldfinches, and more. I can even hear Mitred Parakeets transiting over me occasionally.

Bushtits
I read that wrong
anywho all I can see is Black-capped Chickadee, House Finch, Song Sparrow,and Seagulls
I saw a Steller's Jay once
EDIT:I saw my comment and thought I typed BS

Everyone makes jokes about bushtits! Just look at their names for goodness sake!

bushtits look like tiny little jittering exclamation marks, thanks to their circular bodies and long tails, hence why lgm and i call them the "exclamation mark birds"
