My Bird Feeder List (2009-2011) -IN PROGRESS-

Please be patient while I go through 3 gigs of birding photographs to find all my resident and visiting birdies!

This will be our third summer living in our house, so I thought I would list all the birds that I've seen at our feeders!  I have  platform feeders for the "boisterous" birds, and hanging feeders for our "polite" birds, as well as suet baskets and peanutbutter+seeds smeared onto tree bark.  Notable birds include:
Skeeter, a disheveled looking mourning dove who will let you walk within two feet of him without becoming alarmed.
Soldat, a blue jay whom all other jays respect and let eat first, whom has a drooping wing due to an old healed injury.
 Baldy, a male cardinal whose head is completely bald.

Pair indicates there are clear mated pairs, single means I've seen them singly, or I can't tell if it's the same bird or a different one!
