Birds, birds, birds!

It's the beginning of spring, so there's birds starting to move back into the Ozarks.

At my apartments I've seen Mockingbirds, Starlings, multiple types of sparrows, Pigeons, a hawk of some sort - I think it's a Cooper's or Red Shouldered*, Swallows, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers, Mourning Doves, Crows, American Robins, and many others.

My grandparents are avid bird watchers and I used to do more bird-spotting - unfortunately I lost interest in that and other hobbies I used to have (bug collecting, plant identification, fossil hunting, stargazing) until I decided to come back to college and now it's just trying to find time to really go out and do this stuff.

* Yes, I know there's quite a bit of difference between the two, but I see the hawk infrequently and I can't quite recall it's appearance.
