Mine was a Spotted Towhee sitting on my platform feeder, who arrived just moments before a Steller's Jay, both feasting on a little snowman I put out made of seeds as a treat 😃

A more glamorous first than mine, which was the song sparrow sitting huddled on my feeder when it was still barely light. I regularly spot them around before the juncos and the chickadees stir.

Happy New Birding Year--
My first bird was exciting and frustrating. A very quick glimpse of a hawk, moving fast past the house. Probably the Cooper's Hawk that drops by to check out the feeder possibilities, but no ID features beyond size.
