we get all the same birds commonly year round at our yard feeders (suburban Summit County): titmouse, chickadee, cardinal, blue jay, nuthatch, downy and red-bellied woodpecker, house finch, gold finch, mourning dove, house sparrow, crow, starling, occasional Carolina wren. plus robin, house wren, grackle, and chipping sparrow in summer, and junco in winter. this early summer we got several catbirds. sadly, almost never a hairy woodpecker, and never a red-headed, or a creeper, oriole, blue bird, redpoll, crossbill, siskin, etc.....did see our first yard sapsucker this year! among the several spring migrants: all the thrushes, thrasher, rose breasted grosbeak, white throated and white crowned sparrows. but almost never a warbler. always on the lookout for a new yard species. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Manon Van Schoyck <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 9:18 AM Subject: Re: [Ohio-birds] Feeder Birds To: [log in to unmask] I have always guessed that they move to the woods to teach their young to forage in a natural setting.

In the summer it is mostly the goldfinches and woodpeckers. What happens to the titmice, nuthatches and chickadees? I don't believe they migrate. Are they just getting food elsewhere and don't need the feeder?
