Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching 2024
My wife maintains a couple birdfeeders about 30 feet out from our front porch. She also scatters peanuts around the front yard. The blue jays especially love the peanuts. We also get the most beautiful cardinals as well as sparrows, woodpeckers (3 types), robins, grackles, red-winged blackbirds, a variety of finches and mourning doves. Killdeer don't visit the feeders, being mostly meat eaters, but I often see them flying across the cornfield as I come up the drive. We also have two hummingbird feeders on the porch and had frequent visits last year. This year I've only seen one lone female out there twice now.
