I've had these today: Juncos Bluejays Red-breasted Nuthatches White-breasted nuthatches Cardinals Red-winged blackbirds Purple finches Goldfinches Downy Woodpeckers Hairy Woodpeckers Pileated Woodpecker Chickadees Red bellied woodpeckers Pine siskins Redpolls And some kind of raptor that swooped in so fast I never got to see what it was. The birds sure scattered though.

4 At around sunrise 2 pelicans for sure, 1 Egret and one Great blue heron. Mind you, the bird feeder left me for 10 days to look after a house, dog and cats while the kids go on a vacation

We've had Redpolls by the 100's since Christmas. Both the Common and Hoary. Used to have a nice group of Gold Finches stay all winter but with all the Redpolls I did not see many finches. Lots of Juncos, chipping sparrows, blue jays, starlings, Downy Woodpeckers, pheasants, house sparrows, Sparrow Hawks(Kestrels), Great horned owls, pine siskens, creepers and now blackbirds and grackles. I probably missed some. I hear ya when you talk feed costs. They were going through 2 socks of thistle seed a day.
PS. If anyone builds some unique bird houses (single level) give me a shout.
