The Cliff swallows that nest under my eaves returned last weekend, very late for them. I also have Tree and Violet-greens flying around my house too. Bluebirds are in some of the nest boxes. I still have a few White-crowned sparrows too. Haven't seen much of the Dark-eyed juncos lately. They were covering my feeders just last week. I have one sparrow that looks to be a cross between a Golden-crowned and a White-crowned. The center stripe on head is golden, then there are the thick dark stripes over eyes, but then there is a bit of a white stripe over the eyes, and then another thin black stripe. I've been trying to catch a photo of it.
