Backyard Birds of Idaho Mug — Labeled House Finch, Chickadee, Goldfinch & Robin (11oz)

Four birds you actually see from a porch in Idaho — each one labeled by name.

Every bird on this mug is on the list of species that Idaho volunteers in Project FeederWatch (Cornell Lab of Ornithology) report at their feeders most often. So it works as a small field guide you hold every morning, not a generic set of songbirds from somewhere else.

On this mug: House Finch · Black-capped Chickadee · American Goldfinch · American Robin

The House Finch is the streaky brown finch whose males wear a red head and breast. It usually arrives in small groups and settles in on a tube feeder of sunflower seed.

The chickadee here is the Black-capped Chickadee. It takes one seed at a time and flies off with it, so it makes a lot of trips — and it is usually among the first birds to find a new feeder.

The male American Goldfinch is lemon-yellow in summer and a dull olive in winter — the same bird, just changing clothes. A nyjer (thistle) feeder is the surest way to bring it in.

The American Robin is mostly a worm-and-berry bird rather than a seed eater, so a birdbath or a fruiting shrub brings it closer than a feeder will.
