I have two bird baths and two very thick bushes that provide great cover and many trees in my front and backyard. Lately I have really enjoyed watching and now trying to identify the many types of birds that visit my yard. Today I identified the western bluebird. Three beauties all enjoying the birdbath at one time. I really enjoyed your page with the many different birds of Santee. I will try to identify more of your birds in my yard. Thank you for your great list.
