Some of the more commonly seen species include the House Finch (Carpdacus mexicanus), Pine Siskin (Carduelis pinus) and Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile articapilla). Some of the less frequently seen or seasonal species include the Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri), Black-headed Grosbeak (Pheucticus melanocephalus), Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus), Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia), Red Crossbill (Loxia cuverostra), Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus), Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis) and American Goldfinch (Carduelis tristis). Ground feeders like the Junco and Towhee mostly occupy the screen hanging below the feeder but do venture into view from time to time. The resident Pine Squirrel (Tamiasciurus douglasii) also makes an occasional appearance. |
