We see a lot of house sparrows, juncos, cardinals, blue jays, crows, ravens, mourning doves (they practically live on our feeder), european starlings, nuthatch, woodpeckers - black-backed and downy, chickadees...mostly these in the cold weather months.TALONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205633556998220372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-55017327109136071822012-01-24T17:38:12.416-05:002012-01-24T17:38:12.416-05:00You have my juncos!

I love to see them.<br />But then again we have ravens this time of year, and I saw a bald eagle out the window during a meeting. And yes, I interrupted the meeting. <br />Sparrows and starlings, grackles, crows and chickadees are most common at my house, but we do have jays that nest in a tree nearby, so we get a lot of complaining. See gulls, but not at my feeder. There's a warm pond where a group of Canadian Geese winter over within a few blocks. They don't come by my yard though.<br />I guess I have Lake effect birds.khttp://dottedyellowline.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-77802270989125869912012-01-23T14:29:11.418-05:002012-01-23T14:29:11.418-05:00I'm jealous.

I do have tons of birds in the summer in my garden and the goldfinches are my favorite.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01058252428343107079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-8598861768337819002012-01-23T10:22:22.341-05:002012-01-23T10:22:22.341-05:00woodpeckers are beautiful to look at...... sweet l...woodpeckers are beautiful to look at...... sweet looking and yet very tough!!Bangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-1180321548671251972012-01-22T15:32:49.014-05:002012-01-22T15:32:49.014-05:00Nice report and photos!

I have a thistle feeder which helps keep them in my backyard.Pam J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03397439327477925210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420871845813973733.post-1421151691592046262012-01-22T14:51:33.797-05:002012-01-22T14:51:33.797-05:00I don't see many woodpeckers.
