Ravens are SO difficult to photograph, they are so suspicious. I feed the wild Ravens and this is the female from the pair that comes for food daily. (Last winter)

I love all the Corvids... Crows, Ravens, Jays, Magpies, etc.

Anyone see any new birds lately?
I saw some pine siskins for the first time the other day and they’ve been sticking around. The juncos are back in the yard too - a sure sign of winter.

I haven't seen any Pinesiskins yet, I've heard they are irrupting in NM. But the Juncos have returned along with White Striped Sparrows!

I agree- Juncos are a sign of winter. I've only seen 1 pine siskin this year and it was at a friend's feeder.

Does anyone watch Audubon Webinars? I do, and I would recommend them. The webinars are from all around the country, so you can learn about issues regarding birds in your state.

Most of the webinars are $0 but some are $10-$20 (those are the ones where they give you worksheets)

Wow, nice assortment of birds seen on your list! Mostly Juncos, White Crowned Sparrows, a few House Finches, Spotted and Canyon Towhees, Scrub and Stellars Jay's and a few White Winged Doves this morning. We had 6 inches of snow overnight. Expecting to see some Flickers and Downy woodpeckers soon. Oh and the hoards of wild Ravens, I feed them dry dog or cat food, just got back in from feeding them.
