I have been a birder for decades and we treasure the birds that call Oregarden home. We built a robust feeding station we call ‘Tweet Tomatoes’ that supports numerous feeders and is in close viewing distance of the catio. We also have several bird baths, more feeders, a waterfall, pond, and small fountains around the garden that the birdies love!

57 SPECIES oF BIRDS So Far…

All of the bird species pictured below have been spotted in our garden, at our feeders, or flying overhead. We keep this list updated to help us keep track of all our sightings.

While you might find better photos on the internet, nearly all of these photos were taken by us of our birdie sightings in the garden or at a nearby refuge. Only the few identified as *** PLACEHOLDER are public photos, while we are working to capture our own.

We created this key so you can see which birds below frequent our garden and which are more rare sightings:

• VC - Very Common (Daily)

• C - Common (Weekly)

• U - Uncommon (Monthly)

• R - Rare (Quarterly or Migratory)

• VR - Very Rare (No more than 1-2x a Year)
