backyard birds

Both White-crowned and Golden-crowned Sparrows are still hanging around. House Finches, both the usual rosy colored males plus a couple of the yellow variety, are here everyday. It's good to see Mourning Doves are hanging around instead of the Eurasian Collared Doves that were here last year. I still hear and see them in the neighborhood, but they don't seem quite as numerous as last year. I heard a Bewick's Wren singing in the area for several days, but I haven't heard them for the past week. Other regulars include Lesser Goldfinch and Western Scrub Jay.
