Today, the following visited my birdfeeder:
western scrub jay
mourning dove
American crow
white crowned sparrow
Oh, and a rufous hummingbird the other day!
Regulars in the yard:
Chipping Sparrows
House Sparrows
House Finches
Mourning Doves
White Winged Doves
Robins
Pigeons
Seen less frequently:
White Crowned Sparrow
Scrub Jay
Crow
Bushtit
Nuthatch
Canyon Towhee
Ladder Backed Woodpecker
Flicker
Western Tanager
Inca Dove
Grackle
And once I saw a roadrunner in a neighbor’s yard.
Outside, I see mourning doves the most. Hear them the most too. Seagulls, various songbirds, those adorable grey birds that lift their wings when they rest, up and down, up and down, red-tailed hawks and crows are also very common.
Inside, I hear my finches and my tiels. My baby boy is learning how to say “pretty bird”. I’d rather listen to him than music.
Oooooh!
I can’t see any right now because it’s dark.
I did see a Nanday Conure earlier today, not that unusual though. Quaker Parrots and Nandays are pretty well-established exotics here. On an average day there’s Mockingbirds, mourning and ringneck doves, pigeons, sparrows and starlings. All the interesting birds seem to have packed up and moved. Then again I live in a citified area so these are the birds that are used to people.
I was going to put a bird feeder in my backyard this year but my neighbors seem to have replaced their previous unspayed, unneutered, outdoor only mangy, rangey cats that disappeared last year with some new ones who despite my dog seem to like to come into my yard so I guess that means no bird feeder which would just become a cat feeder.
Oh, that reminds me there is a flock of Quakers around here too, although I haven’t seen them in a while. Haven’t seen Nandays, though - I’ll have to start looking.
Right now (well, a few minutes ago), nothing but Canada Geese - I’m at work and there’s a pond nearby.
At home, over the past day or so:
Cardinals (male and female)
Little brown sparrow-y things (house finches?)
Brown-headed cowbirds (how now?)
Robins
Mourning doves/pigeons
Goldfinches (me loves me thistle feeder)
Squirrels (ok, they don’t have wings but they eat the spillage from the bird feeder so… 
)
And not in the backyard but overhead:
Crows
Some sort of hawk/falcon
On one pole in my backyard, I have 2 suet boxes, a sunflower seed feeder (squirrel-proof, ha), and two mixed-seed feeders.
The new arrivals:
A few red-winged blackbirds
Brown-headed cowbirds
The grackles arrived 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Birds of prey:
Occasionally, I see kestrels and red-tailed hawks. There’s a family of screech owls living in the woods across the street. We hear them every evening, and it’s a thrill to see them working. Yow, what a powerful bird!
The routine customers:
Every morning we see a (red cockaded?) woodpecker for a short time.
Black-capped chickadees and blue jays swoop in to get one seed, fly off to crack it open on a tree branch, then back again.
Mourning doves feed on the ground. They don’t spook easily, because they have a quick take-off.
Robins are bug-eaters, so they work the lawn.
Oddly, we don’t get a lot of starlings.
The cardinals drop by, one watching while the other feeds.
Bright goldfinches stop in, grab a bite, sorry, gotta go.
The majority are nervous crowds of English sparrows and house finches. They swoop in as a group to chow down, then they spook for no apparent reason, fleeing to the hedge.
Oh, and the squirrels. The younger ones eat on the ground, eating what the birds scatter. The older, fatter, bolder ones climb the pole to raid the “NoNo” feeder. Hooking their hind legs on the bail at the top, they hang upside down and stuff themselves with sunflower seed. The panicky sparrows come and go, but the fearless squirrels calmly continue the banquet, unperturbed. They know they can outrun a cat to the tree (and probably kick the cat’s furry butt,) so why worry?
Yeah, I always get my tits mixed up.
Out our windows, we see the occasional falcon & bald eagle, cardinals, bluebirds, pigeons dangitall, and a whole flock of little brown twittery things. Probably some kind of bird but I’m not sure what.
Turkey vultures and black vultures. Must be matin’ season ‘cause they’ve been pretty active the last couple o’ weeks.
We see:
robins
cardinals
blue jays (there’s a fight going on right now!)
grackles
brown-headed cowbirds
goldfinches
downy woodpeckers
a pileated woodpecker
a northern flicker (only once)
chickadees
sparrows
red-winged blackbirds
mourning doves
starlings
And I saw a new one today. I think it may have been an indigo bunting - small and very bright blue all over.
Last year we had either a purple or house finch, too.
Upon further inspection (with the binoculars), we have evening grosbeaks and a rose-breasted grosbeak.
I live in the city, but in the last 5 minutes I’ve been outside and seen:
Pied Crows
Cape Robin
Cape Whiteye
Herring Gulls
Redwing Starlings
Feral Pigeons
It is fun reading lists of birds I don’t know. But I see at least one other non-American has written in, so I will too. Melbourne, Southern Australika, on the bird table before dark - three species of colourful, noisy parrots:
Galahs
Crimson Rosellas
Suphur Crested cockatoos
on the salvias, my favourites: Eastern Spinebills
Out the other windown, around the pond:
white faced heron
fire-tailed finch (flock)
Little Thornbill (flock with finches)
Would love to have hummingbirds, but we don’t.
Lynne
Great Egret
Cattle Egret
Great Blue Heron
Little Blue Heron
Tricolored Heron
Sandhill Crane
White Ibis
Anhinga
Banded Cormorant
Mallards
Muscovy Duck
Wood Duck

Boat-Tailed Grackle
Common Grackle
Crow
Red-Winged Blackbird
Blue Jay
Cardinal

Chimney Swift
Adding to my own list, seen in the past 24 hours:
a pair of wild turkeys (along the road a few miles from here)
Several gray catbirds at the suet feeder
Bluejay (at suiet feeder, and regular feeder).
I’m in a basement and have one of those high windows that looks out on a corridor, really it looks more UP on the corridor. I don’t see any birds. But I do see lots of chicks. . . . I love working at a college.
I see a hawk and a buzzard.
I’m up on the 29th floor of an office building and the two of them just came flying by. Or I guess I should say coasting, as they were obviously riding the air currents.
For such an ugly-ass bird, that buzzard sure can fly gracefully!
