Hearing endless singing? There’s a good chance it’s an indigo bunting! This time of year, you’ll likely find them singing from tall perches along rural roads.

If there’s an owl in your neighborhood, it’s most likely a barred owl. This stout-looking bird is found across the state, has bold stripes (or barring, thus its name) on its throat and upper breast, a round face and dark brown- black eyes. It prefers wooded habitat, often near water, and hunts a variety of prey.

Barred owl vocalizations ramp up in the spring, especially their courtship call that sounds like a monkey laugh. “Who-cooks-for-you” is another common call. They primarily nest in cavities but will also use platforms or adopt other nests made by other critters. The barred owl can live up to 18 years, grow up to 20 inches tall and has a wingspan of 42 – 44 inches.

Does this fellow look familiar? A Painted Bunting is once again visiting a backyard feeder in Winston-Salem, almost a year after a similar bird (maybe the same one?) spent a week at the exact same feeder.

We have received two separate reports of backyard Painted Buntings in the Piedmont in the last 24 hours. Keep an eye out!
