Backyard Birds

Posted on October 27, 2020 by Richard

We are fortunate to get a nice variety of birds to our small backyard where we have some feeders, lots of brush, and the river. Here are a few visitors from the last two weeks.

A cool White-throated Sparrow in the garden. Note the band, probably from NBNC, on the left leg.
Another sparrow, might be an adult White-crowned Sparrow.

Some of our daily visitors, wanted or not, are Rock Doves – better known as pigeons.

Another persistent visitor, who is a voracious feeder, is the Blue Jay.
A young Northern Cardinal.
A few Hermit Thrushes are still hanging around.
American Goldfinches will be here through the winter.

We have noticed an increase in the need for the expensive sunflower hearts and discovered one significant reason.

Slurpin’ up the seeds.
