I must admit I haven’t been paying my yard enough attention lately what with the unprecedented irruption of Snowy Owls, and quite a few interesting hawks in the area as well.
My backyard list for the last couple of weeks remains mostly unchanged from my last post:
- American Tree Sparrows
- American Goldfinches
- Dark-Eyed Juncos
- Mourning Doves
- House Finches
- Cardinals
- Black-Capped Chickadees
- White-Breasted Nuthatches
- Blue Jays
- American Crows
Several reports of Purple Finches, Cedar Waxwings and Snow Buntings in the area, but I haven’t seen them in my yard.
