    January Birding: Best site in continental US

    Hell all. I have a week in January with nothing else to do, but relax and get in some winter birding. Any recommendation of a location in the continental US to find something interesting? I would prefer south (Texas? California? New Mexico,etc.) as I currently reside in New Jersey. Any...

    Belize: January 7-14, 2006

    Manatee, Thanks all for the comments! Regarding the Manatee, I believe that they are generally visible on most days in the lagoon behind Placencia. The tour I was on was to Monkey River and the manatee spotting was purely accidental, although the guides took it in stride as a matter of...

    6 Species at one time!!

    Yes! I think that Pine GBs are some of the most beautiful birds! Yours is a serious list!! How many feeding stations do you have and in what dimensions (ie, within how many feet from one another, etc)?

    DIY squirrel proof bird feeder

    kc, well, the short answer is yes., but I have only ever tried one other suet. It was peanut flavor and the squirrels massacred it before anyone else even found it. I have witnessed Downy woodpeckers, WB Nuthatch, and Titmouse feeding from the spicy one. I just bought another peanut one...

    DIY squirrel proof bird feeder

    Peewhit! Well done! I want to try something similar here with my suet feeder and let you know how it goes. Darn squirrels eat it so fast, and I'm forced to buy the expensive "spicy" version. Thanks!! jw

    Wasteful WB Nuthatch

    That's true about the 3 cousins. I have a group of regulars, three titmouse and two chickadee, who love to pick and run. Thankfully they only pop up to another branch to pound away at the hulls. Th NH seems to fly further befor eating. Thanks all! I appreciate the stories.

    Wasteful WB Nuthatch

    Anyone else notice this phenomenon? He approaches the feeder (squirrel proof, squared cylinder with sliding mesh cage on outside), hangs, and picks out seed after seed, drops them and then finally settles on one and flies away. I can't be sure, but it almost seems that he is trying to stash...
