So it works as a small field guide you hold every morning, not a generic set of songbirds from somewhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn this mug: House Finch · White-crowned Sparrow · Lesser Goldfinch · California Quail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHouse Finch\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eWhite-crowned Sparrow\u003c\/strong\u003e has a crisp black-and-white striped crown. It is mostly a winter visitor that feeds on the ground, so millet scattered under the feeder suits it best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLesser Goldfinch\u003c\/strong\u003e is the small western goldfinch — bright yellow underneath, with a dark back. A nyjer (thistle) feeder is the surest way to bring it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Quail\u003c\/strong\u003e has a forward-curling plume and a scaled belly. Coveys walk in together and feed on seed on the ground, usually close to cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow common are they, really?\u003c\/strong\u003e We went through the Cornell Lab's FeederWatch counts for Nevada and wrote up \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/backyard-birds-of-nevada\"\u003ethe twelve birds Nevada feeders report most often\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe mug.\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 oz white ceramic · glossy finish · comfortable C-handle · dishwasher and microwave safe · lead- and BPA-free · printed to order in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree US shipping on orders over $45 — three mugs get you there.
