Hey birdwatchers
 
What species frequent your backyard?

Here I see a lot of:

sparrows (most common)
robins
grackles
blue-jays
black capped chickadees
cardinals
crows

and less often I see:

American Goldfinch
Rose Breasted Grosbeak
Northern Flicker
Ruby Throated Hummingbird
Broad winged Hawk
Brown headed cowbird
Dark eyed Junko

I'm lucky because the senior couple across the street have no fewer than four bird feeders in their front yard. On a daily basis in the winter I see:

bald eagles (obviously not feeding at the feeders)
seagulls
crow
raven
chickadee
starling
douglas and black squirrel
and countless finch and sparrow types

Sometimes I see one of our resident Stellar's Jays, but he doesn't come around too often. There's also a cardinal that visits maybe once a week.

That's cool to see bald eagles. I have never seen one in the wild.

I forgot a few species I am sure, and Starling was one of them. It's funny with them. Some summers I see tons of them, while other years hardly any. Last summer there were so many, and they kicked many sparrows from their nests. I don't think I'll see that many this year.

I have a few feeders in my backyard.

Being that I live up against the mountains at the edge of town I see all kinds of wildlife.

Here are a few I see often:

gambel's quail, elf owl, turkey vulture, grey hawk, hummingbirds

I saw a pair of golden eagles a couple months ago up in the high country, pretty cool!
