16. I don't have a lot of them here, but they usually come here to nest.

There’s at least one male and one female that come here all the time. I think there is a nest nearby. I hope the Blue Jays haven’t raided it. They were definitely late showing up this year and not nearly as many they usually peak out at about July, when the babies are fledging
