Here in the wet part of Oregon we go through | about 50 pounds of bird food every 2 weeks. We have a feeder | outside every window and they frequently have 5-10 birds each. | | It's great to be sitting at the desk coding and being able to | look out and see a handful of birds attacking the feeder. | | - 2-3 Flickers (I've seen at least a male and a female) | | - 3-4 Acorn Woodpeckers often we get 2 per feeder and the other | birds keep their distance. | | - About 20 Stellar Jays. They stick around most of the year. | | - Dozens of Junkos, House Finches, Chickadees, Silkens, | Starlings, and Red-Winged Blackbirds. | | It's pretty crazy watching these little tiny birds get all | belligerent at the feeder. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-12-26 23:00 UTC)
