Hi all

My wife & I are beginning birders (about 8-10 months now). We have 5 feeders
in our yard and usually have a lot of birds to watch. In one couple hour
span the other day we saw 2 stellar jays . 3 flickers ,
several finches and sparrows and of course a few starlings.
Will the flickers , jays , and finches stay in Puget Sound area all winter
or do they migrate? Thanks , btw , this birding is a wonderful and beautiful
hobby , only sorry we waiting till in our fifties to begin it!!
If anyone in the Burien area wants to call and give us some tips on birding
in the Seattle area please do.
