Here's my backyard list - updated from the old thread with new sightings (or things I forgot):
- Woodpeckers - We get lots: downy, hairy, red-bellied, occasional Pileated. I've seen flickers on the lawn once or twice. I've seen the signs of yellow-bellied sapsuckers (rows of holes in trees), but never the actual bird
- Finches - house, gold, occasional purple
- Titmice and chickadees (black-capped) - lots
- Sparrows - house, song, tree, chipping
- Cardinals - our town's high school team name is The Cardinals
- Juncos - winter time, on the ground under the feeder
- White-breasted nuthatch - my favorite. We never seem to get the red-breasted, though they are in the area in the winter.
- Blue jays
- Carolina wren once in a great while, mostly in winter
- Grackles, some starlings
- Robins around the yard
- Mourning doves around the yard
- Rose-breasted grossbeak once in a great while
- Indigo buntings once in a great while
- Occassional wild turkeys walking through the yard
- I watched a Cooper's hawk take a grackle off the feeder. We've had red shouldered hawks in our yard. I've heard Barred owls close, but haven't seen them (in our yard). Turkey vultures overhead frequently and occassionally roosting in our trees. Red tailed hawks overhead sometimes.
