Feeder birds

 I looked at a web site for "bird feeder birds," and it coincides to a large degree with my own experience over the past two weeks. Today I saw everything I normally see, plus blue jays and mourning doves near by, but not actually on the feeder or balcony. 

I learned today that doves and woodpeckers are not passerines, but other families of birds. Blue jays are corvids, which I didn't know until today.

I knew the word urraca, and had a vague idea of it. I am making my passive bird vocabulary more active.
