One of the best things about living here is the bird life. I’ve seen so many new birds, both (relatively) exotic and more common. I was lucky enough to have the camera when my first canyon wren landed in front of me on the driveway.
Here is a list of what we’ve seen so far in no particular order:
- Belted kingfisher
- Northern mockingbird
- Northern cardinal
- Double crested cormorant
- Great blue heron
- Osprey
- Carolina wren
- House wren

- House sparrow
- House finch
