Rating the Birds at my Birdfeeder

Happy almost winter to my Northern Hemisphere friends! Where I am, all the migratory birds have left for the south, leaving us only with our winter birds that stay through the snow. Today I will be ranking the bird species I see at my feeder!

-Cardinal: (6/10) we have 2 mating pairs living in my yard. one of them brings their baby from time to time. super cute and very pretty. can be aggressive sometimes, especially towards other species

-Blue Jay: (6/10) I LOVE BLUE JAYS! extremely common though. they're also very messy, so they lose a few points there. very cute and smart though, and make silly noises

-White-breasted Nuthatch: (8/10) funny birds. i'm a big nuthatch fan. when they're pissed off, which happens a lot, they do this funny dance (starts at like 1:18). i don't even know how to describe it, but they're trying to make themselves look big and scary, but just look super goofy

-Red-breasted Nuthatch: (10/10) TINY NUTHATCH! they're sooo little and adorable. Red-breasted Nuthatches are less common at my feeder than the White-breasted Nuthatches, so it's a treat to see them. they also say "meep meep meep meep meep"

-House Sparrow: (0/10) BAD SPARROW. UGLY. ALWAYS FIGHTING. BAD BAD BAD AWFUL EVIL GROSS

-House Finch: (6/10) I like finches more than sparrows, but these guys are still very common. the males are very pretty, and I love their red color. the females are Brown.

-Downy Woodpecker: (6/10) cute, tiny woodpecker! not much to say about him, he doesn't do much

-Hairy Woodpecker: (8/10) looks exactly like the Downy Woodpecker, but larger and with a bigger bill-to-head ratio. here's a comparison; hairy is on the left. gets bonus points for being less common than the Downies (hehe)

-Red-bellied Woodpecker: (11/10) BEST WOODPECKER!!!!!!!!!!!! i love these guys SO much; they're big, and have the cutest faces, and they hang upside down with their bellies up, its adorable

-Mourning Dove: (0/10) idiot fat r-slur birds. go away. no brain cells

-Black-capped Chickadee: (3/10) used to be cute but they ruined their reputation from being the worst birds to band EVER

-Tufted Titmouse: (6/10) absolutely adorable but very common. one thing i like about them is that they wait their turn to use the feeder. there's almost NEVER 2 titmice on the feeder at once

-Dark-eyed Junco: (4/10) eh, kind of a boring sparrow. but they have cool coloration, and i like how they pretty much only forage on the ground, which the House Sparrows don't tend to do

-American Tree Sparrow: (8/10) these guys, like the juncos, are only here during the winter, so I like them a bit more. i also like them because of their bicolored bill

-American Goldfinch: (9/10) what a great bird! the males go drab in the winter, so you don't get that bright yellow, but a goldfinch is always a wonderful sign!

That's about all I can remember for right now. Hopefully I didn't miss any!
