I put out a new, longer suet feeder this year in hopes of attracting a Pileated, which are frequently seen around here but have never visited our feeders in the winter. So far, no luck, but, as report

A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker has been a regular visitor to the suet feeder, the first winter I've had them at the feeders. Today I discovered there are two, one has a considerably larger patch of red on

I was happy to find at least 24 Common Redpolls on and under the feeders a few minutes ago. The first I've seen this winter. Clear skies, Alan Glenville

I had three Bluebirds sitting on the wires near the Bluebird boxes during the snow. Alan Glenville

The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker continues to be an occasional visitor to my suet feeder and was there this morning. Pleased to find a male Pileated Woodpecker climbing around on the phone pole out front

Alan, interesting, thanks! So I guess they were rather local populations. The Northern Bobwhites here were the only ones I have ever seen. Clear skies, Alan

I should have done this earlier, but I just thought to look at my yard list. It's actually a Bird Checklist for Five Rivers Environmental Education Center published in 1983. I note that both Ring-neck

I saw Pheasants occasionally during the time when I lived in Delmar, probably between about 1957 or so, when I got interested in birds, and the late 1960s part of my tenure there. The pair of Northern

Some Bluebirds are around this area all winter. I see them quite often out by my Bluebird boxes and on our walks. I have not had the pleasure, however, of any visiting my feeders. Lucky you! Clear ski

Hi Folks, Please excuse this off-topic post, but I know many birders share an interest in the night sky and also have binoculars and spotting scope to enjoy celestial views. As you've probably heard,

Spotted a woodpecker on the suet that looked different from the usual suspects. The bird quickly flew to a nearby true, and binoculars revealed a female Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. In my years of feedin

Just discovered 5 Evening Grosbeaks on one of my platform feeders, soon joined by 2 more on the ground - until a Red-bellied Woodpecker "asked" the two late arrivals to leave. (Eastern Bluebirds aroun

Quite a few Bluebirds around. A morning walk south turned up a group of 5 and an afternoon walk north featured a group of 6 last week. Almost every walk features a couple. On many days a few are out f

I just had a fine view of a Hermit Thrush, nicely posed in plain view in a small apple tree in the front yard. It's a very popular branch, and has been frequented by Cardinals, Orioles, Eastern Phoebe

OT, but perhaps of interest to folks with an interest in the natural world and equipped with binoculars and spotting scopes. The head of Comet NEOWISE was easily visible by eye when it was in the pred

Thanks to everyone for the helpful replies. It was most definitely a fledgling Great Horned Owl's "begging" call. After hearing it for a total of about five hours over two nights it was immediately re

Good Morning, My wife and I have been out with a telescope for the past two nights. Both nights we've heard a bird calling (it moves around, so I'm pretty sure it's a bird). I'm not sure I can describ

Just saw my FOS Great-crested Flycatcher, a good reminder "bird every bird." Saw someone fly into a tree out back out of the corner of my eye from my seat at the dining room table. Almost went back to

Our FOS Eastern Kingbird spent a lot of time kiting for insects out front today. Just spotted two male Indigo Buntings our our back yard feeders. The nesting Tree Swallows and Bluebirds are very busy

Just discovered at the feeder above my deck. Clear skies, Alan Glenville
