While I'm waiting for the winter activity to pick up with the songbirds at the seed feeders I am keping my eyes open for winter hummingbirds. A few years ago at my old house in Marietta, Georgia,I had two Rufous hummers, a western species, spend the winter with me. I am hoping the new house will also attract some of these winter visitors.

However, our juvenile Hummers have departed. I live in the Flowery Branch area. Birds galore, species that are very famaliar, and some that I have never seen before.

One of the young females will sometimes land on my shoulder while I am reloading the bird feeder, done it three times now in the past two weeks. And there is one goldfinch, only seen the one, that is seems to be getting used to seeing me out there. I live near Lower Cardinal Lake near Duluth, know how it got its name now.

I live in Acworth and I think they must eat as much as Richard's turkeys are eating. I’ll take your grackles Rhonda, if you will take my 20 or so pigeons:).

Lots of regulars - cardinals, titmouse, chickadees, blue jays, goldfinch, and many others! My neighbor & I each have counted about 20-30 grackles on each of our feeders at once.

I looked out at my bird feeder and saw 12 turkeys! These are really big birds and were very busy looking for dropped seeds. I live in Kennesaw, Georgia. There is a large wooded area behind my house where I suspect they live. I have only been in this house two years and really enjoy discovering the new birds. I’m going to need a lot more bird seed.
