Watching Bird At Home

May 10, 2014

Richard Stevens:

Snow fell off and on all day.  We stayed in the warm house.  Fortunately, the storm brought many birds to our feeders and backyard.

New yard birds included four Brewer's Sparrows and two Clay-colored Sparrows.  Other uncommon visitors included a McCown's Longspur (first one ever to our yard), a Green-tailed Towhee, a Spotted Towhee, several White-crowned Sparrows and a Wilson's Warbler.

Common visitors included our six Mourning Doves and a pair of Eurasian Collared-Doves.  In 1996, we drove 300+ miles round trip to get a Eurasian Collared-Dove lifebird.  Now they nest in our neighbor's yard.
