Yep, they're still around, and for the first time, I saw one of these lovelies poking around the yard:

Didn't manage to get a pic of it, but it was lunching quite happily on stuff on the ground, so I'm sure he'll be back.
Also saw a ton of others this morning--Steller's Jays, chickadees, song sparrows, Oregon juncos and several of the spotted towhees we've gotten quite a lot of.

Despite having a bird feeder that we keep topped up, we pretty much only ever see what are known in England as "small brown jobs," that is, kind of colourless birds (hedge sparrows and the like). I once saw a blue jay and once a red cardinal, but that's about it, so I envy you the variety you have!
