It seems the early bird got the worm.

All photos taken by me. Let me know if I've ID'd something wrong!
Black-billed Magpie
Very noisy and social. This photo also doesn't do justice to their beautiful iridescent plumage.
Canada Goose
Honk
Canada Jay
Also known as "whiskey jack" and "camp robber", they have a very varied diet and will eat human food. This one had a hankering for shredded cheese.
European Starling
A huge group of starlings is called a murmuration.
Feral Pigeon
Don't let him drive the bus!
Green Heron
They are capable of using fishing lures, such as bread or insects, to attract fish in the water. The streaks on its neck indicate this is a juvenile.
House Sparrow
To keep their feathers clean, they roll around in dirt, a behavior known as dust bathing.
Mourning Dove
In addition to their "nostalgic" cooing, they also produce a sound with their wings when they take off. It's called a "wing whistle" and it's a way for them to announce danger.
Muscovy Duck
The males are the largest ducks in North America.
Northern Cardinal
The state bird of seven US states. What happened to being original?
Northern Mockingbird
They are able to mimic around 200 songs of other birds, as well as cats, dogs, frogs, car alarms, and various sounds they hear in their environment.
Song Sparrow
Caught this fella in the middle of singing. This was one of the first bird songs I was able to remember!
Turkey Vulture
The most common vulture in North America, they have an extremely strong sense of smell which they use to locate carrion (decaying animal flesh). This one spent at least an hour preening itself.
