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. |
We have plenty of
lorikeets crows magpies kookaburra's butcher birds noisy minors seagulls and to a lesser extent galahs and cockatoos |
|
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! |
