So the feeders went up today in the new backyard at 8 am. A few suet cakes, black oil sunflower seeds in two feeders, a mix in 2 feeders, a tray of mealworms and 1 thistle feeder. The list for the first day includes: 8 BC Chickadees 5 Tufted Titmice 2 WB Nuthatches 2 starlings 1 Robin 4 Blue Jays 2 Cardinals 2 Eastern Bluebirds 2 Downy woodpeckers 2 Red-bellied woodpeckers 1 Flicker 3 Mourning doves 1 Hairy woodecker 1 House finch 2 Juncos Fly overs: 3 Canada geese 1 Bald Eagle 1 Pileated woodpecker 2 Red shouldered hawks It has been a fun day watching all of the activity. I can honestly say that I am shocked (and very pleased at the same time) that there was not a single House sparrow to be seen.
