the feeder cam doesn't get photos of some frequent visitors who tend to be ground feeders, or larger birds that don't fit into the feeder well or aren't comfortable.

just a day or so ago, i noted all of the birds i saw coming to my yard, which is a designated audubon at home wildlife sanctuary:

  • dark-eyed juncos
  • carolina wrens

  • blue jays
  • cardinals
  • mourning doves

  • white-breasted nuthatches
  • downy woodpecker
  • red-bellied woodpecker
  • northern flicker
  • european/common starlings
  • chickadees

  • house sparrows
other birds that have come by rarely, or i've only seen once
  • mockingbird (just the other day!)
  • red-winged blackbirds
