Allenbird.com feeder. Wooded location. Tray with assorted fruit and nuts. Two hanging seed feeders, a nectar dispenser and a water fountain. The variety sounds on this site are amazing.
A gregarious species of open habitats, especially weedy and agricultural areas; occurs in flocks of tens to hundreds. Typically one of the most common weaver species where it occurs, but care should be taken to separate it from rarer species, especially when in nonbreeding plumage. Note the red eyes, hefty bill, and relatively large size. Where introduced in the Caribbean, the bill shape and eye color separate breeding male weavers from oriole species. Village Weavers in other plumages are distinguished from the Northern Red Bishop by their larger size, larger bill, and eye color. Constructs compact hanging woven nests, often in large colonies in or near towns. Like most weavers, has a remarkable song made up of a jumble of squeaky notes followed by a drawn out sizzling buzz. Calls include a sharp “dzip” and “chut” or “chit” given singly or in series. Flocks create a loud burbling chatter.
First I open YouTube allenbird.com livestream and take a screenshot. Then I open the Cornell Labs App and use Photo option to ID the bird. Yes it’s cheating, but it’s fun. I don’t even have to get out of bed! Full description of the bird given in ALT.
