Hey-o
I have seen a couple of discussions recently about seeing birds that are normally found in the foothills in areas where they are not as common. I too have seen several birds in my neighborhood this year that are more commonly seen in the foothills. This week I have had a few different birds show up once I decided to put up my bird feeder and put in some sunflower seeds. There have been a few Red-Breasted Nuthatches, some Black-Capped Chickadees (no Mountain ones yet), several Dark-Eyed Juncos of various persuasions, two or three Blue Jays, and to my surprise, a Steller's Jay was hopping around out there the other day. I have had a Brown Creeper show up occasionally, and a Downy Woodpecker was here off and on in the spring, working the suet feeder. Late this summer, I had a Spotted Towhee in the bushes a couple of times, and there were a couple of Western Tanagers in the late spring. I have to keep a close eye on my cats when the feeder is up so they don't try and catch the ones on the ground. I may have to get another super soaker ...
Good Birding -
