Backyard bird watching

[ProfessorM]

This? Got several of these all year round. Probably my favorite I get. Very loud bird. They sleep under my back porch on a rafter all winter. 3 of them huddled together. Been doing it for years but not sure they are the same exact birds each year,.

Carolina wrens - my favorite. 2 are living under the eaves of my garage now and enjoying the seed and suet. Lots of woodpeckers and cardinals....and another favorite though quite shy and mysterious - a Northern Flicker. Think there are two of them.

Yes. I was tossing up between the Winter and Carolina version. With your picture, now I'm more convinced of the latter. A lot of activity today.

The last two days have been spectacular for bird watching when I've had time to look.You name the bird we've had it in around our feeders.The suet feeders have been very active.

Gonna head out and replenish the seed feeders and then kick back and watch till game time.

I love the bird watching at my house. Your best bet is to get a NE bird
calender, they list and have pictures on every month
Just pin it up near the window and you will be able to ID them easy

After last weeks storm we lost the tops on all the trees and I can hear the Hawks cry. Now what ? will they rebuild or move?

Has anyone gotten Purple Martins? I understand all must be right with the world to attract them,let alone have them return.
