Yeah I’d say I’m hooked now. Planning on adding more feeders and seed variety to feed more birds this winter. Currently seeing about 6-7 different species and enjoying every minute of it.
is there a particular book you recommend? Thanks
A guide to field identification birds of North America (Golden publishing)
and
National Audubon Society field guide to North American birds (Eastern region)
(Knopf publishing)
are the ones we have been using.
If you feed them, they will come.
Then begins the battle with squirrels to keep your feeders full. Trying to outthink a squirrel intent on raiding your feeders is akin to playing chess with a grand master.
We also throw out seed in a cleared area for the ground feeding birds.
And squirrels
And chipmunks
And cottontails
