First Birds

I think of myself as primarily a field biology or naturalist, I also wish I was more of a birder than I am. More often than not, I only get a day or two to get out to find birds weekly. One of my resolutions for the New Year is to get out and about more.

Regardless, here's today's list of "accidental sightings" as I did not make any special efforts to get today:
Canada Goose
Mute Swan
Mallard
Common Merganser
Ring-billed Gull
Rock Pigeon
Mourning Dove
Downy Woodpecker
Blue Jay
American Crow
Black-capped Chickadee
Tufted Titmouse
European Starling
Northern Cardinal
House Finch
House Sparrow

All of these were seen either at my balcony feeder or from the balcony window while I pretended to work! (Before you wonder, I can see the stretches of the Huron River from my windows!)
