Day 17.357: End of year backyard birding

Here are some of the birds that have visited our feeders over the last few days.

Two Carolina wrens showed up on counting days after two consecutive weeks when our counting days were pretty much the only days we didn't see one

In contrast, the fox sparrow seems to only appear on counting days - two weekends in a row but with no other sightings.

This orange-ish house finch has caught our eyes several times. Apparently this coloring is within the bounds of normal, but all the others are much redder and this orange stands out.

Nothing much to say about the downy woodpecker, except that it posed nicely for this picture
