Does anyone do life lists? When I last updated, I was at about 220 species. Use to watch birds much more when young (HS/college) than now but I do have feeders active and just checked: 8 different species at feeders in preparation for the storm.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Arrow use your imagination

you can have all the feeders you want but
you need to do some broadcast seeding also where you can.....

the birds respond to their environment too
so increase their FUN any way possible...

they like "sheltered spots" especially in this snowy weather

that's why i mentioned the Quonset huts made from pine bark.


for example:
just now after going out food shopping we noticed a sign
for FREE Christmas trees ....that did not sell b4 Christmas
and i grabbed two and tossed them into the back of my car

they are now out on the deck in my little Bird play ground
and instantly the birds Love hopping around under them.

Funny you say that Raven. Just took my xmas tree down and propped it up in the woods near the feeders. It's like a mini playground before they hit the feeders.

The guide I'm using now is Kaufman's Field Guide to Birds of North America - pretty decent. I'm always looking - I'm a sucker for guide books.

Got the Audubon Birds and Rep/Amphib, too. I think the Peterson is better.
