    I always associate the mourning dove’s call with awkwardness. When I was a kid whenever we played outside with other kids if something happened that resulted in an awkward silence such as someone saying something mean, breaking something, etc almost on cue during the middle of the silence a mourning dove call would happen.

    Although the Mourning Dove is labeled as the "most nostalgic" bird in the U.S., in my opinion, I think it's the American Robin for me. I've lived in Central New York my whole entire life and I always heard the American Robin in the morning especially when getting ready for school and waiting for the bus. It's such a bittersweet sound and feeling for me.

      @@BadgerlandBirding Being someone who has no sight, I can easily identify birds just by their calls! To me, the fish crow sounds like it could say, "Uh-oh!". There's one bird call I know, I think it's a song sparrow, but someone said it sounds like they sing, "Turn on your tea kettle-ettle-ettle-ettle!". The one I love the most is the call of a fledgling American Crow, which to me is a nasal "Caa!", that sometimes sounds like they're startled or even falling!

    Oh... Just listening to this video made me so happy. These are the sounds of every single morning in North Carolina. I know all the birds that live here- and I know the sound of all the bird calls by heart- but sometimes it's hard to connect the 2. Thank you kindly 💖

    I recently downloaded a birdID app and have been obsessed for almost 2 months now as I've begun recognizing sounds. I have either heard myself or seen 47 different birds from my front door stoop in northern IL. We have some protected wetlands nearby and I'm humbled by the sheer diversity right outside my door. There's a northern mocking bird and Baltimore oriole nearby and it's awesome! Anyway, I like this video a lot and I'm subscribing!

      I used one named Merlin. One day I recorded for just a couple of minutes and it told me I had 14 different bird songs. But I knew there was a mockingbird singing, so I figure it was a robin, a sparrow, a chickadee, and the rest were that mockingbird.

    We have all of these in Missouri. I'm hoping the house wrens return to their nesting site underneath eaves of my house inside the siding so I can hear it's beautiful call. Such a loud, shrill call for a small, shy bird. I can't wait for my ruby throated hummingbirds to show up from their migration in the next few days!

      They are very similar so that is easy to do. The morning doves are a little mellower and I believe they are most active during the day/morning, while owls are more active at night.

    I don't have a good ear for memorizing songs so recognizing different bird calls is hard. I have heard almost all of these in my area though. PS I watch a mockingbird on a telephone pole do its songs, hop into the air & hover for a few seconds in place then fly in a back loop, land in same spot, resume singing then repeat the maneuver. Fascinating. To watch!

    Southeastern Wisconsin born & raised, and one of my favorite things to do in Spring & Summer is have my morning coffee on my patio, listening to the birds sing around me. There is one particular call that I always associate with ponds and small bodies of water, and I have no idea what bird it is, but I love the call! It sounds more like a warbling, and I'm guessing its a finch or chickadee. I hear it a lot when I hike the Kettle Morraine, but I love the sound! Such a summer sound for me! Great video!! Thanks for posting!!
    Edit: a little more searching and the bird song I'm thinking of is that of a red winged blackbird!! My all time favorite summer sound!

    It's so strange for me to watch & listen to American birds because I'm from Middle Europe (Germany).
