I live near Gulfport, MS out in the country. I have 6 feeders, 2 nectar feeders, 2 seed blocks and 2 bird baths. That attracts many birds of various types. I've got several birds houses and many a lot each year to give away. Love to watch birds, and do the bird counts every year.
I live in sussex,England. I back on to ancient woodland(that is forest that has been in excixtant for at least 500 years)This means we get most of the woodland birds, quite different to yours. I also do bird counts for the BTO. One for my garden on a weekly basis and another for any area I visit. I get Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers coming in these are on red alert as there are only 1500-2000 breeding pairs in the whole of the UK. I read your letters with great interest, your birds sound really beautiful.

Saw one a week ago, in a front yard to a busy street. It was attracted to a large number of house sparrows in box shrub. The birds were safe.
At the age of 70, I am finally doing something I have been wanting to do since grade school. I was in a bird club and I will never forget the fun I had learning all about birds. I am doing my watching in my back yard. I live on the St. Joseph River and see a lot of feathered friends. Last week, a very large Eagle came and rested right out our bedroom window. That got me excited. My 14 year old adopted son, Jaker14 is also joining for a class in school. Happy birding everyone. Claire

I grew up on the east coast but am now living in AZ. I get a LOT of hummingbirds in my back yard, and the most interesting birds come to the seed block in my front yard -- Cactus Wren, Gambel's Quail, Pyrrhuloxia, Great-tailed Grackle, and Inca, Rock and White-winged Doves ... so interesting!
