Speaking of cold-driven arrivals from the north......I had my first
White-winged
Junco of the season at my feeders yesterday. Usually regular every year, but
this year they have been absent until now. In general junco numbers at my
feeders are way down from previous years, with only a few Pink-sideds, Oregons
and an occasional Slate-colored in the mix.
Also present now are Cassin's Finches (8-10), Pine Siskins (10-12), House
Finches (6-8, lookin' might fine this time of year), a few Am. Goldfinches, a
pair of Black-capped Chickadees (no Mountains since early fall), as well as
Scrub and Steller's Jays.
