Set up my backyard bird feeding station, now that cold weather is here in 
NW Ohio. Have 1 platform feeder with mixed bird seed, 1 wired hanging 
feeder with black-oil sunflower seeds, two thistle feeders, and on hanging 
suet feeder. I have created a Monarch Waystation in my front, side and back 
yards, where I plant nectaring flowers along with common and swamp 
milkweed. It attracts many birds that I would never have seen. Goldfinches 
have fed on the seeds left in the Evening Primrose and Purple Coneflower; I 
don't cut them even after flowering time is over.

1 Red-bellied Woodpecker(enjoys the cracked corn over sunflower seeds)
1 Robin
hoards of House Sparrows(any tips on "handling" them?)
3 House Finches
3 WB Nuthatches
2 Tufted Titmouse
3 Blue Jays
2 Cardinals
1 Carolina Wren (heard singing)
1 Mourning Dove
