I didn't start installing bird feeders and nest boxes until 7yrs after we moved in. The nest boxes are used by both birds and Southern Flying Squirrels. Hummingbird feeders seem to attract only one variety of Hummingbird and they are very aggressive towards each other. I've had a few Garter snakes park themselves inside a birdhouse trying to get a meal.
I have a Red Shouldered Hawk that's been showing up every day or every other day since last November to get a piece of chicken liver.
Birds at the feeders: Bluejays, red headed woodpecker, downy woodpecker, red bellied woodpecker, morning dove, common ground dove, titmouse, chicadee, warblers, painted bunting, indigo bunting, Carolina wren, thrasher, phoebe, flycatcher, red start, sparrows, redwing blackbird, cowbird, mockingbird, towhee, cardinals, waxwings, eastern bluebird, Robin, red house finch, loggerhead shrike, rose breasted grosbeak, blue martins and chimney swifts.
Other birds we have had around our yard: Swallowtail Hawk, Barred Owl, Vultures, Great Horned Owl, Cooper's Hawk, Ibis, Pileated woodpecker.
