I’ve had the usual mix of early-winter species in my yard for the past week, though with the House Finches continuing to linger in numbers not typical for late December. The list:
- American Tree Sparrows
- Black-Capped Chickadees
- Dark-Eyed Juncos
- House Finches
- Downy Woodpeckers
- Blue Jays
- Goldfinches
- Mourning Doves
- Northern Cardinals
- American Crows
- Common Ravens
