[cobirds] Re: Cassin's Finches/other feeder birds

I had one bright male and three females today. One or two have been
intermittent at my feeder for the past three weeks.

No other "exciting" birds for me recently. Four bushtits today, four
mourning doves at dusk two nights ago, one bird yesterday. Earlier this
fall I had two Western scrub jays, a male and female red crossbill which sat
on the feeder for 15 seconds, didn't see anything they liked, and moved on.
Only time for this species this year. Both white-breasted (only the past 8
days, seen about every other day) and red-br nuthatches (almost daily the
past two months are here. Three blue jays daily for the past four weeks.
One to two spotted towhees daily, had a maximum of four (3m 1f) a month ago.
One mountain chickadee visit four days ago.
While writing this, I watched a pale western red-tailed hawk circling
moderately high over the house.
No Cooper's hawks except for one brief visit to perch on a tree two weeks
ago. But I saw a Cooper's carrying a fresh red-sh flicker at Holly and
Orchard last week.
