What a great yard! Wish I had cardinals over here...

Here’s a picture of a Golden Eagle I drew.

Unfortunately it was not my photo I copied, I got it off the internet.

How lovely! Glad to have discovered this thread as I am an avid birder and chicken keeper. Today at my feeder I had Pine Siskins, American Goldfinches, Dark-eyed Juncos, Blue Jays, Black-capped Chickadees, a Mourning Dove and a Baltimore Oriole (who has been around for the last week).

Welcome! I've never seen a Baltimore Oriole before, I'll add that to my list of to-sees.
What type of birdseed do you use? Just curious.

I’m using black sunflower seeds right now - the oriole was after the last of the apples in the tree (they love orange halves and grape jelly if you ever have one pop by). This was my first time seeing that species. In a few weeks I’ll add an niger seed feeder for the finches.

Good to know, thanks! It's time to set up my own winter feeder...
