This morning I was out at 7:30 walking on the fireroad and a trail to the lake. The walk started off with a flock of Cedar Waxwings in the trees across the street from my house. Along the fireroad I heard more birds than birds I actually was able to see. They were Redbellied Woodies, Downy Woodies, WB Nuthatches, Phoebes, Chickadees, Cardinals, Veery,  Ovenbirds and  Scarlet Tanagers, Catbirds, Crows and Titmouse. A lot of different juvenile birds, noisest being the a group of four very loud Carolina Wrens, Chickadees and Titmouse. By the lake I was hearing something that sounded like a couple of Eagles really fussing maybe juveniles. I also saw a hawk peched in a tree too far across the lake to see what kind.

Back home sitting on my deck I was surprised by a couple of juvenile RedBellied Woodpeckers. One landed on my deck railing right in front of me. The neighborhood Mockingbird is making various sounds one after the other non stop.
My yardbirds seem to be mostly Goldfinches, my Bluebirds regulars, Titmouse, Carolina Wrens, Catbird, Chipping Sparrows, Chickadees, Cardinals, Bluejays, Mourning Doves, Starlings, Cowbirds and the dreaded House Sparrows.
