Wow! A wild bird feeding thread! How fun is that? I feed mine a few times a day. ATM, I have mostly doves and blue jays, and the pesky pigeons who eat me out of house and home when they come. Of course I have to feed the squirrels too, or they will eat all the bird food. We used to get so many different birds, but these days just the ones mentioned, crows, and the occasional red winged black bird. We do have wood peckers, but don't feed those, unless you count the fir trees in the yard where they find plenty apparently.
Oh, we do get the small birds too. Chickadees and wrens mostly. The occasional brown cow bird.
Overhead we have the bald eagles, hawks, osprey and owls. I try not to feed those. Until last year we had a golden eagle, but haven't seen that one in a long time. She used to thin out the squirrels.
