At The Feeder

The other day Emily said she had seen a fox sparrow at the feeder.  Fox sparrow is not on my eBird list yet so I asked Emily to show it to me the next time she saw it.  

So the next day she showed it to me along with a song sparrow for comparison.

This is the fox sparrow that I saw today.  With the temperature in the low teens, the feeders were very popular today.

I spent about 15 minutes checking out the feeders this afternoon to see if I could identify the birds on my own. 

There was a red bellied woodpecker enjoying the suet feeder.

A dark eyed junco.

Lots of house finches,

A pair of Downey woodpeckers,

And a white crowned sparrow.  I didn’t take pictures but I also saw a chipping sparrow, nut hatch, cardinal, blue jay, tufted titmouse, and a chickadee.  I am sure there were more but that was all I could manage without Emily.
