Hi all! I just found this site a few days ago and have really enjoyed reading through everything! I'm very new to birding -- I've hung up a finch feeder each spring for years and this year I have added some more permanent feeders hoping to attract some more birds. So far, I am extremely successful at attracting Blue Jays! :king: One of these days I need to figure out how to 'move' them to another area of the yard and continue feeding them but also get some other birds to my feeders.
This has been an exciting week for me -- I've seen the Bald Eagle that lives near our property twice this week!! Have only seen a Bald Eagle once before about ten years ago. I've also had 3 bird visitors (other than Blue Jays) stop by but they haven't stayed around long. A House Finch, a Common Redpoll, and something grey with a red tummy and black and white striped head that 'walks' down the tree trunk upside down! Haven't looked him up yet...
Just wanted to say howdy and thanks for the great site!
