Some birds were passing through and only stopped a moment.(Magpie)

Some flew over on their migration north or south. (Sandhill Cranes)

Some became friends and would eat from my hand. (Chickadees and others)

Some , such as the raven, declared it their territory and stayed over 20 years.

Some would bring their young.( a White-throated sparrow brought her young Cowbird)

Some would court their mates.(Ruffed Grouse)

Some got stuck here for the winter and survived until snow-melt in the spring and then they moved on..(Brown Thrasher)

Some came from far away.(The White-Winged Dove)
