I haven't got them all yet... but, I tend to think the opposite. So far the year it's been all Blue Jays and Chickadees with the occasional White breast Nuthatch. I haven't seen him for a few days , the Redbreasted Nuthatches haven't turned up yet. The gold finches are out there but no photos, and the Downey Woodpeckers haven't turned up. The treat today was the Evening Grosbeaks. They don't come often. So really, a total of maybe 10 species, altogether. Having been here 6 years . and seeing these same 10 some every year, so less often, it's been a long time since I saw something different.
Summer, -, White Throated , American Tree and Song Sparrows, Phoebes, Yellow Rumped Warblers, , Robins, Wood Thrushes, Crows, Ravens,
Winter
Blue Jays, Chickadees, White and Red Breasted, Nut hatches, Evening, Rosebreasted and Pine Gross Beaks, Redpolls, Gold Finches, Purple Finches, Pine Siskins, Hairy and Downey Woodpeckers
Spring and summer passing through, Fox Sparrows, Grackles, Starlings, Red Wing Black Birds, Junkos..
Hmmm 28, I guess that's a little more than 10. You don't know until you count... I wonder if I forgot any. Turkey vultures, wild turkeys, two types of owls, at least 5 types of hawks and eagle and northern shrikes we see infrequently, as well as herons, King Fishers, Mergansers and Loons and two kinds of ducks, mallard and Mergansers on the river in front to the house.
You're right, we see lots of birds. I should try putting everything we have into a post, except it would be a very long post.
