I like ibird pro for my phone, it works well and has sounds of the birds also. I bought a book for the Costa Rica birds.

I have The Birds of America by John James Audubon. Its one of my favorite books. I look up what they sound like.
We always get a kick out of what shows up on the trail cam in our yard.

How about a pair of California Quail.
We have hoards of them here, often on my morning walk around the neighborhood, I see groups of 25-75 and in the winter, we often have that many in our yard. When the powder snow is deep, they put on quite a show! They'll land on our fence, barely above the snow, then fly out near the feeder and disappear into the powder! Then the head will pop up like a periscope and they'll plow on over to the feeder.
When the snow crusts over, it is real bumpy. Then they run over the top, hurrying to the scattered seed. Many times, a hollow will get in the way and they'll face-plant, then get up and continue running. They're a riot to watch!

We had quail at our last house and I used to call to them and they would call back and come flying in!
