The juncos have come in full force in the last month since the temperature dropped. The black-capped chickadees have been here all year and will stay through the winter (yay!) Husband said he saw a Cooper’s Hawk lurking the other day, there’s a big ol’ family of California Quail that hang out in the neighborhood and then there’s the usual suspects, like house sparrows, house finches (like the one you have above), Cassin’s Finch. I’m looking forward to the Spotted Towhee to make an appearance. He’s so jaunty. 🙂
Those are some great visitors! I haven’t seen the chickadees yet here but usually they are here along with the nuthatches and downy woodpeckers. Towhees are pretty wonderful!
