That's what I forgot. But last night I got both Songbird and Wildbird food. Both had Blackoil sunflower seeds, but the Songbird had the most.black sunflower seeds. I have plenty of feeders, it's just getting out there in the cold. At least I spent a few minutes tying the bell to some branches on the spreading oak tree.
From what I've heard, Maine has some very dedicated birders. I hear a bird out right now singing "Preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher" in rapid succession. Wonder what he is?

Carolina wren?
Thanks, Pogo.So Becki, I've now got five hummingbird feeders dotted around three sides of the house and the word is out. Constant hummage, right outside the window where I sit.
The soda bottle feeder never really worked out. It was easy prey for squirrels or bears or whatever kept ripping it down. I've got a more standard column feeder, quite large, and I'll get that out soon. Not that the birdies need it, it's very lush here with the rain we've had.
Thanks, Pogo.
Here's another type of bird called a Vireo. It has several different kinds.

Love me some vireos. Here's the yellow one, complex call, it's in four parts like the wood thrush
Nice 2CU Becki
I thought doctors could heal hard-of-hearingness if you weren't born that way. Sometimes, some people have ears that collect wax enough to muffle sounds. And there are aids that can help you if that hereditary aspect is not in play. Best wishes on fixing your ability to hear birds again. There's another bird that comes around my farm around the first day of spring every year, and I can't recall much about it, but it sounds like a 3-syllable word that slips my mind by fall every year. I don't know how I got to be a septuagenarian with keen hearing abilities, so much so I have to tune it out from time to time.I dunno, I'm about deaf. Can't even hear that beautiful English Sparrow song.
Oh yes, some birders up there. Get a chance check out Borestone Mountain, they used to release Perigrine Falcons there. My Buddy Jack Dunstan was the ranger. He is housebound now, called him last week. Poor guy, wicked birder. I had a Peregrine few weeks ago.
Pure blackoil is what chickadees love. I have a cool feeder looks like a 3 ball snowman bout 12" tall, wire mesh just big enough for sunflower seed. They love it!!!
