Creekside birds

Here are the birds we’ve seen around our house, though Merlin Sound reports many others we haven’t had the opportunity to see yet — even a Red-headed Woodpecker, a Great Horned Owl, and a Barred Owl (who often asks “Who cooks for you?” right around suppertime).

The first few years, we weren’t here for many weeks so the counts are lower than what we’ll have in the future.
