i dont understand the question but i have no predator problems

I am now not sure what I meant either. Hee hee. But, on another note, on my mountain bike ride today I saw some sort of pigeon sized bird but it wasn't a pigeon, maybe a small raptor, he was too far, flying at a fast rate of speed about 6 inches off the ground and as soon as he came to a power pole he immediately shot straight up at a 90 degree angle and zoomed to the top of it. I couldn't believe his athleticism. Birds of all kinds amaze me so much.

ya, so much poult, i was so amazed. Birds are such wondrous, amazing and even mysterious creatures. They are not afraid of heights, they swim, hover, hunt, run, hop, walk…I mean, they are so diverse as a species with what they can do .

Anyone near Charlotte, NC that would like to come out and tell me what I am seeing and hearing on my property?
I have 10 wooded acres and see and hear a ton of birds. I always wonder what they are and try to look up birds online to figure it out but my luck is spotty at best.

I would love more info on how to attract the local birds to my yard and provide shelter, feed, etc...

Thanks!

I agree with you 100% Juliebird!

Sfraker im not sure how to answer that because I don't live in NC but maybe this site can help?

And, poult, this time of year is my favorite when the robins sing the way they do.
