The Dark-eyed Juncos are in our yard all year round. We make sure they always have food
We sit right inside their breeding zone, so we even see the babies as they start adventuring outside the nest.
We get an amazing variety of songbirds, woodpeckers, hummingbirds and other feathered friends.
This spring, in our garden, we have so far seen:
American Gold Finch
Purple headed Finch
Red Winged Blackbird
Dark-eyed Junco
Anna’s Hummingbird
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Northern Flicker
Pileated Woodpecker
Black-capped Chickadee
Red Breasted Nuthatch
Cedar Waxwing
Bullock’s Oriole
Black-headed Grosbeak
Mourning Dove
Steller’s Jay
Varied Thrush
American Crow
And a few I haven’t identified. Some have been seen a few times, others are always there.
Overhead -
Red Tailed Hawk
Bald Eagle
We have a variety of feeder types, feeding seeds, nuts, a variety of suets, fruits and jams. It seems like I’m filling one or more of then everyday. They cost as much to feed as I do.
My wife is handicapped and can’t get out easily. Watching “her” birds give her great joy.
