Most of the Gold Finches have left this week.
They've been replaced by House Finches.
I also have lots of Towhees. The are ground feeders generally, but they also work the suet and peanut feeders.
The Gold-crowned Sparrows are ground feeders too.
They are gaining in number this time of year.
I have Song Sparrows all year long.
The Juncos are year around too, though I see them at the feeders in the fall and winter - during spring and summer they find their food elsewhere.
You have such pretty birds out there, Beth! We still have a few goldfinches hanging around, but the one I saw this morning looked very cold and ready to fly south. Love that rosy colored finch!
ReplyDeleteWe are currently seeing many juncos.
ReplyDeleteenjoyed seeing the birds what a lovely variety
ReplyDeleteLove the little birds. I like to watch the towhees scratch up the leaves to see what is hidden beneath.
ReplyDeleteThe Sparrows are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! How come the first bird looks red? Pretty color!
ReplyDeleteI love how much red your house finch has! The red is not so pronounced on the ones in my yard. The other birds are beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a really red house finch!
