We've mostly got regular old neighborhood birds in our immediate walking area. Our neighborhood was cleared of trees throughout most of the past hundred years, and the old folks liked it that way, I guess, because only recently as the pioneers are ageing out and young urbanites moving in, have we been getting re-treed. I've noticed an increase in species variation in just the past several years. I do hope it keeps up. (Before we heat up the planet to the point where we're left with nothing but starlings and house sparrows.
