There is a Bird Watcher thread

I stopped feeding a couple of weeks ago. It attracts bears and the neighborhood bear has been sighted on the road behind me. But, there were two other reasons that I needed an excuse to break me from the habit of throwing seed out:

1. Coming up soon I'll be gone for 5 days, so I don't like to cut the birds off suddenly (especially tough if fledglings get used to it)
2. I was mainly feeding starlings, squirrels and pigeons at that point anyway.

In April I had a pair of red-bellied woodpeckers, hairy and downy woodpeckers and bluebirds. There were also a bunch of goldfinches, a couple of purple finches, some house finches, white-throated sparrows. For a while I had several cardinals, both male and female, and then it just a pair as they sorted out their territories. Same thing with robins - had several, which is not usual, now it is just Mr & Mrs (which is not the same Mrs from last year by the coloring - don't know about Mr). Also had a pair of mourning doves which I like to see (as opposed to the pigeons).

The cat birds didn't arrive until after I quit feeding, but I hear them around. I had some red-breasted grosbeaks show up after I quit feeding also, which is an oddity for me. I did not get the large flock of red-winged blackbirds that I normally get before they split up. I did see and hear a few though.

 

b is right about the bird watchers tread , my bird numbers are way down due to bird flu used to go through a lot of seed. Had two thistle seed feeders that were filled twice a day. I haven't seen the scarlet tanager in two seasons, My birds are once again showing up. You must know I've been using "squirrel" proof feeders for years yup proof not. Just to get jt.
