ah! looked outside to see if it was raining yet and saw a little sparrow hopping around on my sidewalk. I live in the city so I get lots of house sparrows visiting me, but I noticed some white stripes on his head. Looked it up and it's a white crowned sparrow!
So far identified birds that visit my feeders now:
- House sparrows
- Cardinals
- Blue Jays
- Black eyed Juncos
- American goldfinches (haven't seen any this year yet tho, could also be that they aren't their full color yet so i haven't realized)
- House finches (I first thought these were Pine Grosbeaks, but I think I misidentified them)
- Starlings. Lots of Starlings. I no longer put out suet because the starlings fight very loudly over it
edit: we also have red breasted robins and morning doves in the area, but I never see them at the feeders. I've been watching the robins collect nesting materials :) Morning doves love splashing around in puddles in the alleyway after it rains
