So how many feeders does everyone have?

Right now we have 4. 3 on post one is barrle top and of course the ground where I fed my chickens outside. So i guess that would be 4.

Right now four feeders and two suet cake holders. One tray with sunflower seeds, one thistle, two generic multipurpose songbird mixes. When the hummingbirds come back we will put out one or two hummingbird feeders.

Laura,
I noticed a lot of your photographs are no longer up. Are they on your facebook page?

Two feeders, ground feed in 5 locations, five suet feeders = lots of birds. (Been at it for 46 years.)

Really hard to say because not much of the bird is visible. It could be a female house sparrow.

I would go with female Northern Flicker.

There are two types of birds. SCBs (small chirpy birds) and TSBs (tiny shore birds).

Western Sparrows? I'm not familiar with those and didn't see them in my bird book. Do they have another name?

Just one for seed and one for suet. There's quite a bit of natural forage around here for birds and critters - crabapple trees, conifers, beech, oak, blueberry, etc.
