There are many species of birds here on the farm

Black Capped Chickodee:
State Bird of Massachusetts

My personal favorite:
American Crow

A Red Tailed Hawk flew into my duck house through a small door that the ducks use, and spent the night with them. It wasn't discovered until the next morning!

Wild Turkeys are a very common sight,
and they usually travel in groups.
