New yard birds, Highlands Ranch, DougCo

[Lesley Brown]

We have seen a few new birds for our yard the last couple of weeks.  A flock of pine siskins have been frequenting the seed feeder for last three days.  We've never seen a flock of them before, only a single bird one time last year.  A Wilson's warbler briefly landed on our lilac bushes but disappeared before I could get it in the binocs, lol.  Last week we had several sightings of a lone Lincoln's sparrow, and this week we've been visited by a White-crowned sparrow.

We are also seeing the usual Spotted towhees, bluejays, flickers, bushtits, goldfinches, red-breasted nuthatches, chickadees, etc. The last hummingbird sighting was Saturday, 10/3/2020, on the hummer feeder.  

We are using patio mix bird seed and suet cakes.  I don't think we were using the seed feeder at this time last year so that could be the reason for the new birds in the yard.
