Observations by mary_ellen_ii

One or two hang around our yard, and they are seen frequently throughout the neighborhood.

The several dead trees around our house provide excellent sources of food for them.

These hide out in leaves under our bike shelter and in the ditch.

At least one pair lives around here, possibly two pairs. Forage about mid-morning.

Very many live around this area, and can be best observed right after a rain storm. At this time, they keep up a chorus of croaks for very long amounts of time.

The calls were very loud and could be heard all the way from down the road.

Red-breasted, brown backed. Foraging for food under a dogwood tree.

These birds are very common around the area, and often tease cats. They also chase crows and other larger birds away from their nest.

This tree grows in the wild and in cultivated gardens. Those in the wild were usually once cultivated or are parented by a cultivated tree. They are stunted and less shapely than cultivated plants.
