Backyard Birds of California Mug — Labeled Hummingbird, Mourning Dove, House Finch & Goldfinch (11oz)
California's state bird is the California Quail, and it walks.
It will cross your yard in a line with a comma bobbing on its forehead, but it is not a feeder bird. These are, each illustration labeled with the bird's name.
On this mug: Hummingbird · Mourning Dove · House Finch · Goldfinch
California is the one state where a hummingbird is a year-round backyard bird. Anna's Hummingbird stays through the winter across much of the state, which means a nectar feeder in California is a January item, not just a May one. Four parts water to one of sugar, and no red dye.
The Mourning Dove works the ground under the feeder on cracked corn and millet, and whistles on takeoff — you hear it leave before you see it go.
The House Finch is native to the West, and the red-headed male is one of the most familiar birds at a California feeder. Black oil sunflower brings it in.
The goldfinch is the bright yellow one on the thistle feeder. A finch sock of nyjer seed is usually enough to get it to stay.
