Black-capped chickadee

Black-capped Chickadees seldom remain at feeders except to grab a seed to eat elsewhere. They are flexible and they live in flocks—the sudden activity when a flock arrives is distinctive. They often fly across roads and open areas one at a time with a bouncy flight.

House Wren

Happy and energetic, just like their songs. You can spot House Wrens hopping quickly
through tangles and low branches and, in the spring and summer, they often pause to deliver cheerful trilling songs.

House Sparrow

House Sparrows are very noisy that flutter down from window sills and fenceposts to hop around and peck at crumbs or birdseed. You can look for them flying in and out of nest holes hidden behind shop signs or in traffic lights, or hanging even around parking lots waiting for bits of food and occasionaly pecking at insects.
