From our yard in Nashua NH - orioles, goldfinch, purple finch, doves, cardinals, catbirds, titmice, chickadees, robins, wrens, swifts, woodpeckers, sparrows, hawks - wish I knew where our hummingbirds are - we usually see them - not yet though!

I live in Illinois and was wondering if the emergence of the two broods of cicadas at the same (hasn't happened since 1803) will have any effect on the bird population? Will that increase the broods birds will have? Will they have more babies in each brood? Thanks

@@belalugrisi1614 I am currently using a no waste seed, and I’ve tried rock and mulch but it creates a huge clumpy mess. Right now I’ve put down landscape weed barrier and will plan on using the shop vac when it seems all the ‘seeds’ have been devoured. I would leave it as dirt only but I have a small dog that likes to walk thru there and I don’t want mud on her feet.

I spend a lot of time in Rochester and my biggest regret is having to leave in March, just before Spring migration when I could see some of these beautiful warblers. I've seen many of them, but not in their full breeding plumage because I lived in Central Florida when they pass through in the Fall, and I still need blackpoll, cerulean, golden winged, mourning and Canada warblera for my life list.

Thanks for your site. I never had birds in my house previously the house is about 3 years old. And I don't know but I'm guessing these are chickadees and I'm just so curious he comes and goes comes and goes every 5 minutes continuously never stops for days. Sometimes he goes in and then a minute later he comes out and flies away again. I can't figure out how to attach a picture

There is nothing like a native plant to attract not only the butterflies but the beautiful birds too. ❤ This year I have seen so many new birds in my yard and at my feeder it’s amazing. I have been able to get a lot of them on video which I am totally enjoying! ❤

I live in Downtown Columbus (Ohio) and have been at war with a huge flock of house sparrows. It's like they travel in gangs to terrorize other birds! I had all these wonderful birds at my feeder until the house sparrows took over. So I switched to a mix with no millet - they were back mobbing the feeder within hours. Then switched to all safflower seeds - I woke up the next morning to the feeder (and my fence) covered with house sparrows - they were feeding safflower to their babies too! I finally switched to all Nyjer seed two days ago. I have since seen ZERO sparrows, but not many other birds either. But maybe it'll take them awhile to return. I know I'll get limited types of birds with Nyjer so once we get closer to fall, I'll maybe try other types of food but with those wires hanging around feeder. I also have hummingbird feeders which the sparrows leave alone, and I am going to put up a peanut (in the shell) feeder to see what happens there. (I've noticed the squirrels here don't like Nyjer either, so that's good!)
@tinabrasil624Ай бұрын
UPDATE!!!! It has now been over a week since I switched to Nyjer seed. I will occasionally see a lone house sparrow land on the feeder, but it's almost like it's just tasting the Nyjer seed, then decides it doesn't like it. I have seen both house finches and Carolina Wrens eating the Nyjer seed regularly...so I guess if I'm stuck with them, it's better than the house sparrows! Haha!

I have a question, regarding the influx of Cicadas in the south. I’ve noticed I have less birds at my bird feeder since the Cicada have shown up. Is it possible the cicadas are now a preferred meal? Higher in protein?
