Hi & welcome to Bird Forum! In your introduction, you mentioned that you had been interested in birding before, so you may already have one, but a good field guide would help as well.
You can also use a site called Ebird to check out what is normally seen in your area in different seasons. It is free & you can actually access that information without creating an account.

Hi I agree, get a good field guide! Your local book shop should stock a few that are either for the whole of North America, more local (Eastern USA/New England) or even focussed only on regular 'garden birds'. Otherwise all can be found on Amazon of course. Most will contain drawings and take a bit of practice, but there are plenty of photographic guides as well.
A good online repository is the Internet Bird Collection (IBC), but you need to know what you're looking for, because it contains almost all bird species on the planet (10,000+).
Good luck and hope the feeders attract some nice birds!
