The more FeederWatchers we have, the better and more complete the data.<br /><br />We have a fairly large - about 1/2 acre - suburban lot and I have several different feeders. My basic seed is the black oil sunflower which most seedeaters enjoy. I also use a fruit and nut mix in one of my feeders. I have four feeders that hold suet cakes, both traditional suet and peanut butter based cakes. (The birds particularly like the peanut butter.) And I have a feeder that holds a pressed seed cake that has a mixture of seeds. This is particularly enjoyed by woodpeckers. I also keep my hummingbird feeders out in winter, because we have Rufous Hummingbirds that winter here, and soon I'll be hanging my nyger seed feeders for the finches. Along with all the feeders, I always make sure that there are sources of clean, fresh water, which birds need at all seasons.

It's been a slow start for me too. What feeders do you have? Nicolas LaBarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460589712833728438noreply@blogger.com
