Nope. I have seen a couple of GCKI in the area, but not at a feeder. We see a pair of RCKI from time to time at the feeders.
We have native pseudotsuga menziesii and thuja plicata and non-native cedrus atlantica and pinus ponderosa.

Plenty of birds such as warblers and vireos and WesternTanagers come for water, of course, although those seem to be scarcer every year.

Conifers are scattered in the area, maybe not dense enough to attract a population of Golden-crowns, although we have plenty of Chestnut-backed Chickadees.
