The blue jays hit the feeders soon after they have been refilled with sunflower seeds. We’ve even had them hop onto the outside windowsill much to the delight frustration of the cats.

Jon managed to capture this photo of an American goldfinch as it perched above one of the feeders in the yard.

Gone to the birds

This spring and summer have seen a lot of birds at the feeders (mixed seed, Niger seed and a hummingbird feeder). These are the species that have visited us so far this season:

American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis)
Common Grackle (Quiscalus quiscula)
American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos)
Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina)
Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris)
Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis)
White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis)
Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis) ‘Slate-coloured’ variation
Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata)
Downy Woodpecker (Picoides pubescens)
Hairy Woodpecker (Picoides villosus)
Rock Pigeon (Columba livia)
Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus)

As I spot other species, I’ll add them to the list.

Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura)
European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)
