I have my feeder up, and there is a regular bunch of birds that visit. There is a family of Blue Jays in the neighborhood, there are usually two or three that visit on a daily basis. House Finches, Black Capped Chickadees and House Sparrows are pretty common, as well as a flock of Dark-Eyed Juncos. The Junco flock mix changes from time to time, but I regularly see all four of the common ones - Pink Sided, Oregon, Grey Headed and Slate Colored. This morning, I was surprised to see a White-Winged Junco in the mix! I had to look twice to make sure, and when it flew, it had larger white tail edges than the rest of them. Yes! New Yard Bird! A Mountain Chickadee has been here for about a week, and I saw a White-Crowned Sparrow in the mix with the other Sparrows as well. I thought I saw an American Tree Sparrow, but didn't get a good enough look at that one to be sure.
good birding -
