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!
