All neighborhood birds—personal favorites are the pied fantail (so pretty and round! and has the cutest angry eyebrows!) and black-naped oriole (mostly for its call—it's such a head-turner, from its bright plumage and bold eyeliner to its melodious voice).
Really cool to see some neighborhood birds from a neighborhood very far from me! I'm reminded of Amy Tan's book The Backyard Bird Chronicles, which is a published version of her bird journal.
I started reading that at a friend's recommendation! I also love seeing birds through other people's eyes, it feels more real than watching a documentary :')
