There were certain birds I never saw before I started feeding them. A red bellied woodpecker was one. I never saw a Carolina wren before. Those are two birds that quickly come to mind.
There are others like a white breasted nuthatch who likes feeding on the suet I put out for the woodpeckers. I never had a large living room window facing the yard before from where I can watch the birds come to and fro several bird feeders.
Our window faces a large white pine and there are bushes on the edge of the porch. When the frost is ended I will put out sugar water and watch the daily parade and antics of the ruby throated hummingbirds feeding on them.
I consider myself lucky to have this situation. I have always loved birds and I get a lot of pleasure of watching the steady stream of them.
