We used to get hundreds of those Canadian geese fly over and form an enormous floating armada on the big lake near where I grew up.

So, so many geese here, too. I think they're from Montreal though, so thankfully they keep moving (I think it's because they think the food is ... typical).
We also occasionally see a cardinal, and get tons of robin, finch, ravens, and hummingbird. If we put peanuts out in the yard, we get blue jays, but they're ing noisy s, so we try not to do that; they compete with all of the squirrels, so it's ing thunderdome when the peanuts go out. :p
We get lots of hawks and even some bald eagles here, too. Most interestingly, however, are the Peregrine Falcons; they're tiny little guys, but also the fastest animal on Earth.

:wtf: :wtf:
Remember that Owl we saw a few months ago in our backyard? It's a pity they only come out at night so we can see them in all their splendor.
We also get Cardinals, Bats and other colorful birds (don't know what they're called unfortunately)
One of the best feelings on Earth for me is seeing Hummingbirds. They're so adorable.

Many birds here in Holland. When I still lived with my parents I used to watch hoovering buzzards, often with some of those annoying crows around it:
Nowadays I often see them close to the roads like this. I always enjoy seeing one:
