Today at my feeder I had
3 Stellars Jays,
over a dozen Oregon Junkos,
several American Robins,
a couple of Northern Flickers,
many house sparrows,
and a couple of striped little sparrow-like birds I haven’t identified yet.

I use an air gun to tweak the tails of any kittehz that try to interrupt the feathered ones. Squirrels get headshots, though.

By your bird list, I can tell you're a westerner.

My hunch is that your unidentified striped sparrow is a white-crowned sparrow.

This time of year, hundreds of thousands of them overwinter throughout the western states.
