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.
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!
Boisterous birds:
Polite birds:
Black Capped Chickadee three pairs
Cardinal three pairs
Chipping Sparrow pairs
Common Redpoll pairs
