How long do these birds we see every day live?
I regularly see Anna's Hummingbirds, Hose Finches, House Sparrows, Towhees,
Scrub Jays, (er...that's House Finches, above), White- and Gold-Crowned
Sparrows, and occasional Flicker, Cowbird, Cedar Waxwing, American
Goldfinch.

Anyone know lifespans?  And what's always in your neighborhood, and how long
do they live?
