Clay Colored Sparrow
Ring Necked Pheasant, he doesn't visit the feeders but he hangs out in my yard.
Flicker, another resident that doesn't visit the feeders, but the nest in my yard every year.
Hairy Woodpecker, I also get Downey Woodpeckers and once had a Pileated Woodpecker in the yard but it didn't find the feeders.
Western Tanager. A couple of years ago I had 8 in the yard at one time.
Pine Siskin, some years I don't see any, other years they seem to be everywhere and constantly at my feeders.
A one time Visitor, a Lazuli Bunting.
Another rare visitor, a Gary Crowned Rosy Finch
This is my feeder setup. I built the house shaped feeders, they hold 5 gallons of Black Oil Sunflower seed. The pop bottle feeders hold two liters of Canola seed.

Nice photos but no squirrels? My squirrels would destroy those feeders in a couple days.

I don't have House Finch here but my guess would be female House Finch.

I am fortunate, and yet two of my sisters see even more species then I get here and they aren't that far from me.
Living out side of town really helps as does the surrounding habitat. But the biggest factor is developing a bird friendly yard, and time.
If you feed them they will come. :)
