[Tweeters] mtn/urban birds

[David B. Williams]

Greetings. I have been thinking about the relationship between urban birds and mountains birds. When I am up in the mountains, I often see some of the birds of my Seattle yard, such as juncos, robins, and black-capped chickadees. It’s my understanding that “my” yard birds do not migrate up to the mountains. Is this correct? 

In contrast, I believe that the varied thrushes I see in my yard do migrate up to the Cascades. Is this correct?

Any insights on the connection between birds seen in the Cascades ones in the urban/Puget lowland landscape would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
David
