My bird feeder
- Thread starter woodjin
- Start date
I did. This bird feeder gets a much larger variety of birds. Maybe because the woods on my property is oak-pine instead of pine-oak as it was at my old house.
I have some video footage. It isn't super clear 'cause it was done from inside through a screen on the window but I will try to upload a short snipet.

And your in Tabernacle also. Hey maybe it's the same one
(quick edit: I live in Tabernacle now even though my thing says near mt. Misery)
A red bellied woodpecker visits my feeder (in Turnersville) He always eludes my camera. I even keep it in close proximity to the window.
Thats cool having the woodpeckers at the feeder. My wife has three feeders on our small balcony off the bedroom. When the curtains are open from the night before, we can lay in bed and watch them. She put some suet out recently, and it is attracting a Carolina Chickadee. This morning we had the Carolina, Cardinals, Sparrows, Titmice, Juncos, Mourning Doves, even half a dozen American Goldfinches. No woodpeckers yet, although there are some in the woods next to and behind us.
I got a few pics of him this weekend! I'll have to develop/scan & see how they look
I find it takes some time for woodpeckers to visit a feeder. The chickadees and titmice come right away. Try some woodpecker food such as nuts and the redbellies should be all over. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I feel like I see redbellies more then I ever did before and flickers for that matter.
We've had red bellies at our feeder occasionally, but I'm also noticing a lot more variety at the feeders. I've been seeing creepers and wrens, we never had those until this year. We also had a rabbit and squirrel problem at the feeder, until the Great Horned Owl moved in to the neighborhood a few months ago. I haven't seen it but my neighbor did. No more rabbits and just a few squirrels left.
