We get cardinals and blue jays. They really hate our cat and let her know it. The cardinals stay through the winter but in winter other than that we just have big nasty blackbirds. We keep a Rose of Sharon bush in the yard for the hummingbirds and grow some kind of thistle type flower for gold finches. I love watching the hummingbirds and finches.

There are some raptors around here too; I’ve seen them grab birds on the fly in my yard. The little boys across the street thought it was the coolest thing they’d ever seen.

My hubby has a finch feeder and we get some that have pinkish-red breasts. Have no clue what kind they are. But they don’t stay long.
