    Bird Feeder Reports.

    A co-worker saw a groundhog the other day, this inconsistant weather has a lot of plants and animals confused, but spring is coming.

    Bird Feeder Reports.

    My Carolina Wrens come around several times a day, they might be siblings or a mating pair. I also get White-throated sparrows, sometimes five or six at a time and song sparrows, one or two several times a day with the white-throats. I've been lucky and the countermeasures to discourage house...

    Up to 30 Pine Siskin's Today, I had over 50 when I lived up in the highlands of northern NJ. I think if I get A bunch more Junko's, that would be a sign of a bad winter on the way.

    Pine Siskins and Pine Warblers I haven't been using this Forum for some time because of login issues and quite frankly lack of interest, but the fall migration is now in full swing and I would like to tell someone about it. The last two weeks have been interesting and unusual in a good way when...

    Bank Swallow Colonies

    Bank Swallows I don't know where you are in New Jersey, but I am in Bridgewater and very close to me is a spot where I fish that I saw some swallows nesting in a high steep cut out on the river at the edge of a corn field. It's the South branch of the Raritan river in the town of south branch...

    Very good birds at your local. I don't know where you are on the east coast, but you get some good birds. I've had Phoebe's, but never Flycatchers, and you mentioned Eastern bluebirds, I am so jealous.

    Red breasted nuthatches. Red-breasted nuthatches are really quite awesome little birds. When I lived in Oak Rodge, up in the highlands I had one that would eat seeds off my hat. The white-breasted variety are cool are very common, and not as friendly.

    Native Plantings. I've found Purple coneflower and tall blue cornflower are loved by goldfinches for their seed in late summer/ autumn. I have Bee Balm for the Hummers, also this year I planted a bag of seeds to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. I was having a problem with the homemade...

    Replies to my thread. I'm so glad that I'm getting replies to this thread. To tell you the truth, I don't do this very often, and I didn't think anyone would respond at all.

    Bird Feeder Reports.

    It was an interesting spring, for one weekend I had A male rose breasted grossbeak. Last year I had two females, and they were tough to distinguish from female redwings, but it was them. I found it very interesting to watch as the Dark Eyed Junko's leave and the chipping sparrows come back, as...

    Not one, but TWO Cooper's Hawks?

    I have a Cooper's Hawk around my yard all the time. Last spring it landed next to the bird bath and refused to go. I too a few pics and then had t shoo it away. I don't mind certain predators as they keep the bird populations healthy by removing the the sick birds. I can't tell you how much i...
