I've managed to steal a few minutes here and there the last few mornings to check out who is visiting my feeders. Nothing new or rare, but since I haven't gone birding in a bit, it's all I have to share...
The Pine Siskins are my best customers. They love the nyjer-filled stocking- I've counted at least ten at a time on there.
I've had a decent variety of sparrows daily too, though no White-throateds yet.
Spotted Towhee
Golden-crowned Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Between the berries on my ash tree and the apple trees next door, there is no shortage of starlings, scrub-jays, crows, and robins. I swear I heard a Varied Thrush one morning but no visual proof yet. Hopefully I will get out birding this afternoon or tomorrow so I will have something more interesting to share!

Great yardbirds! I would love to see the Golden-Crowned Sparrow in my yard. Love the Pine Siskins they are so cute! Happy Birding and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLast winter I didnt get the normal flock of siskins that come in, I really missed them too! I Love that Stocking Niger feeder way cool!
ReplyDeleteAwesome- love it! I had a customer tell me today she had two Varied Thrush the other day...so keep watching.
