the birds

And here's where we start the overlapping thing. But, lists of the birds etc. I see in my backyard naturally belong here, so let's have one, shall we?

• starlings, house sparrows
• house finches
• goldfinches
• robins
• crows, grackles
  
• juncos
• chickadees
• cardinals (nesting pair hanging out next door)
• blue jays
• mourning doves
• sparrows: chipping, song, and white-throated
• flickers
• brown thrasher
• warblers: black-throated green and pine

and new this morning, a female rose-breasted grosbeak was squeaking away. Every time I go out there and see or hear a new bird, I get this stupid grin on my face. I love it.
