The one Rufous Hummingbird remains at my feeder. I put a new feeder out at dawn to replace the one that froze the night before. Other feeders have American Goldfinches, Carolina Wrens, Warblers (sorry, I don’t know what they are), House Finches, House Sparrows, Mockingbirds, Grackles, and Starlings.
No woodpeckers or doves.

I did get a Purple Finch and House Finches, had flocks of Goldfinches, Red-bellied and Downies, Mourning and White-winged doves, Tufted Titmouse, RC Kinglets, Cardinals, Mockingbirds, Robins, OC Warbler at the suet, Pine Warblers. Put feeders out but no hummers although I have not had any lately.

Also, a Brown Thrasher visited the seed feeder, which I think may be a first for me (at least in south LA). A little group of Common Grackles briefly stopped by, which also don't regularly come to my seed feeders. One quick visit by a Dark-eyed Junco, which I haven't had at the feeder yet this winter. Most of my winter hummingbirds are accounted for - I have a few each of Black-chins and Rufous, and no one new has arrived as far as I can tell. Maxed out at 14 Northern Cardinals and about 50 American Goldfinches in view at once. No Purple Finches or Pine Siskins, but this isn't over yet.
