Just looking out the windows today I have seen at least 7 purple finches - male, female, and immature
Eastern Towhee
Chipping Sparrow
Song Sparrow
Cowbirds
White-throated sparrows
Juncos
Goldfinches
House Finches
Mourning Doves
Cardinals
Chickadee sp
White-breasted Nuthatches
Tufted Titmouse
Downy Woodpecker
Red-bellied Woodpecker
House Sparrows
While walking the dogs I heard/saw:
Northern Flicker
Pileated Woodpecker
Redwing Blackbirds
American Crows
Common Raven
Probable Turkey Vulture
Bluebirds
At the edge of the woods I heard something different (so did Lucy the coonhound). We looked up and saw a Cooper's Hawk fly over still calling.
I'm probably forgetting something. It's neat to see something different in recent days.
