Backyard Birds of South Dakota Mug — Labeled House Finch, Robin, Blue Jay & Chickadee (11oz)

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

Every bird on this mug is on the list of species that South Dakota 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 · American Robin · Blue Jay · Black-capped Chickadee

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 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.

The Blue Jay announces itself before it lands. It carries off peanuts and acorns to bury, which is why it empties a tray feeder faster than anything else in the yard.

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.
