Hello I am relatively new to bird watching. After reading some of your posts i definitely feel amateurish.I live in withiamsville Ohio and  have a feeding station in my wooded back yard and have counted at least 12 different species of birds. Including 3 blue jays which I have been unable to get them to do little more than a fly by. Grape jelly not working gonna try mealworms next. Any suggestions? Additionally, I have two pileated wood peckers both over twelve inches, sound like machine guns when feeding, that I would like to keep interested. Again any suggestions? Last and equally important European Starlings are running off smaller species of wood peckers that i enjoy watching including a red belled male that is a good 9 plus inches.

  p.s. I am looking forward to hearing some of you pros sightings.
