Moving 1000 feet lower in elevation (to about 1300) has really upped attendance at our feeders. There's the same throngs of black capped chickadees, redpolls and pine siskins and bunches of pine grossbeaks, mostly female. But we've also been having a number of boreal chickadees and redbreasted nuthatches as regular visitors. I rather miss the three-toed woodpeckers, though.
One goshawk came to benefit in its way, too.
A family of great horneds sounds to have wintered over also and started their breeding calls a couple weeks ago, but surprisingly we've had no squirrels at the feeders, so I can't say the owls are benefitting.
