I'm pretty good at identifying warblers and vireos, only fair at sparrows, waterfowl, and buteos (hawks, or, for those of you not in the US, buzzards), and terrible at hummingbirds and shorebirds.

I love watching the Turkey Vultures, trying to see when they will flap their wings next. I know they are not pretty up close but they are masters of the air.
I enjoy watching wildlife in general. We also have a fair number of lizards, snakes, and spiders which are also great to watch. Which reminds me, the tarantulas should be out shortly - they usually come out after the summer rainy season starts.
