We currently have lots of Juncos, 16 Goldfinches, a handful of Jays and maybe 5 Chickadees. No RB or WB nuthatches or Titmice.  Only 3-4 Mourning Doves vs 14-16 last year. Very low numbers overall (except for Juncos) than the past 25 years!  A few Downey and Hairy WPs. One lone Starling yesterday along with two House Finches.
