I have a wish list this winter. I need to find a snowy owl!

I saw a red tail hawk and lots of blue birds yesterday after the snow storm.

I saw three western bluebirds this morning! I've never seen them at my house before.

What fun birds you've all seen!

Not exactly recent, but a couple months ago I saw a Hermit Thrush and a couple Townsend's Solitaires in my yard, and a Pacific Wren in the mountains!

What's on your birding list this winter?

I want to see a Slate Colored Junco!

This is an old photo, but what a surprise it was for us to see. A saw whet owl.

I don’t consider myself a birdwatcher, but I bought a suet cake on a whim a few weeks ago and I have seen loads of birds! Most of the birds I couldn’t name by species, but there have been plenty of woodpeckers, cardinals, tufted titmouses, chicadees, and little squat birds that look like orioles without the orange.

Currently downloading an app by Cornell Bird Lab that should help me identify some of the birds!
