Red-winged black birds, house sparrows, house finches, juncoes, robins, white-crowned sparrows, northern flicker and of course the Great Horned owl.

The little birds completely ignored him as they emptied the bird feeder. He is sitting above and to the left of the feeder.

The Downy Woodpecker was on the suet block this morniing but was not cooperative as it took off right before I could snap the shutter.

I remember when the camera bird feeders came out and how expensive they were.

Todau Amazon has a Lightning deal on one such feeder.

I live on the East coast, New Jersey to be specific. I have lived in the same home for 54 years and have fed the wild birds that entire time. This year populations are at an all time low. I would guess somewhere around 20 % of what normally feed here and at a wildlife club where I also feed. I was wondering if anyone else has noted a similar decrease in wild bird populations. I know that West Nile hit here fairly hard last year. Perhaps that is what caused the reduction ?

Probably H5N1....
