My garden has over a dozen species of visiting birds.
- Anna’s hummingbirds – If you add a hummingbird-feeder, you will have them year-round
- Lesser Gold-finches – they like the small niger seed
- House Finches (aka Rose finches) – they like the small niger seed plus larger seeds up to sunflower size
- Oregon juncos
- Chestnut-backed Chickadees
- Bewick Wren
- Scrub Blue Jays
- Hooded Orioles – They feed on nectar and live in palm trees
- Hawk
- Crows – They will occasionally visit the backyard. However, they normally do not like enclosed areas because they are more vulnerable when they need to take off.
