I put out a bird feeder tray and waited a few days.... I saw the odd bird, but today WOW ! I had a couple female house finches and a male house finch (red head and breast), and dark eyed Juncos and even a red breasted Nuthatch! I took a lousy picture with my cellphone held up to my binoculars, but it wasn't good enough to post here. In lieu of my picture, I will post a picture of the majestic Bald Eagle that was spotted by my husband in Tofino on the West Coast of Vancouver Island on July 6th. Enjoy!
I watched this little guy digging in my mulch looking for bugs. I believe this this is a Northern Flicker. He has a red spot under his chin/beak area. He didn't make a sound (too bad because he has a nice call).
