Songbirds

Brown thrashers arrive in spring and make a lot of noise, some of it  mimicry.

Thrasher

Dickcissel

Dickcissels and meadowlarks (last pic), noisiest birds on the prairie.

We don't have very many nesting warblers, a few more in Omaha, so have to include this Waterthrush as a singer.

Baltimore Oriole. Chatters a lot with offspring, as well as singing.

Wood thrush in our Eastern end.

Red eyed vireo, a noisy bird in much of our country. Song often mistaken for a Robin.

Eastern bluebird, on its nestbox. Male sings, both male and female colorful.

Orange and black American Redstart. Nests in Northern Nebraska along rivers.

One of our more common, but pretty, warblers. Yellow warbler.

Of course we have goldfinches. here sitting in a tree with their enemy, a merlin.

Mostly a dark blob with a tweezer for a bill, the House Wren is bubbling with song, sometimes a bird every 100 feet or so along a path. This is actually at Lincoln Saline Wetland that has a tiny bit of trees, a sort of Nebraska forest.  Also at the wetland. bushes along the gravel road are home to:

Bell's Vireo. Sings all summer. He never looked my way while singing, Some sort of  choke cherry bush.
