Default Anyone into bird feeding?
I'm pretty involved with bird feeding this winter after moving out of a condo into a house where there are actually birds nearby. I've got three seed feeders and a suet cage out. Just this morning I've observed a good assortmant of species:

Cardinal (male and female)
Red breasted nuthatch
White breasted nuthatch
Downy woodpecker
Tufted titmouse
Dark eyed junco
Black capped chickadee
Blue jay
Sparrow

Anyone else into bird feeding? Anyone aware of a discussion forum similar to this one that focuses on NH or New England bird feeding? Couldn't find anything on the NH Audabon site.

In terms of interest, it is for me ahead of most downstream fishing and spinning. And I've already opined that spinning is better than staying at home with the television set.

Been into the bird feeding for several years now and have seen all of the birds on your list but have not ID'd the Tmouse yet. Have seen the Hairy Woodpecker and what I believe was a Boreal Chickadee.

Yes, Mrs. Otter, thank you for providing the link to that website. Very interesting.

Had a Carolina wren at my feeder a couple weeks ago. I was really surprised because I thought they headed south for the winter. Occasionally get an evening grossbeak flock. Have also seen a hawk around the feeder, but I don't think it was the seed he was after. Was up at Mom's in Maine last weekend and had about 20 turkeys under the feeder and around the apple trees!

The Audubon Society does an annual Bird watch where you write down what kinds of birds and how many come to your yard/feeder on a specific weekend. It helps them with bird populations etc etc. If I come across the date I'll post it, I think its usually early spring?
