Identifying Birds At The Bamboo Lagoon

I did a post similar to this when we had our house in NC and several bird feeders in the backyard. It is always interesting to me to identify them and hear their songs and realize how familiar their sounds are.

So here at The Bamboo Lagoon, the bird population has started to diversify and figured it was time to at least get a list started of the daily visitors. We are limited a bit by the fact that we only have the one feeder and it only has black sunflower seeds in it. This list includes those that aren't just at the bird feeder but have been seen in the yard in general.
 
White-crowned Sparrow
American Goldfinch
House Finch
Oregon Junco
Song Sparrow
Spotted Towhee
American Robin
Black-capped Chickadee
American Crow
Western Scrubjay
Stellar's Jay
Cooper's Hawk
Red-winged Blackbird
Rufous Hummingbird

That is it for now...the short list. I hope to see more as spring comes and they get used to seeing the feeder here. If you have time, you should check out the Sound tab on the bird's pages linked above and hear what they all sound. It is pretty cool that they have these recordings.
