Ducks, grouse, quail and geese too! Okay I'll quit, there's way to many to remember

If I drive a bit, I can see ducks and geese, but not in my back yard! They are in the reservoir, the river, the lake ... any body of water is more exciting to them than my humble back yard!

When we see seagulls here in Portland, we know it's storming on the coast.

When I was a kid growing up an hour west of here, when we saw a seagull, we know someone was just plain lost! I am only 12 or so miles from the coast here!

I have never seen a cardinal before. They sure are beautiful, would love to see one. We have loons too and apparently there have been quite a few golden eagle sightings recently. The older I get the more appealing bird watching becomes. Found a pheasant in the back yard once, I think it must have been someones pet that flew off. Maybe got scared around dinner time

I fed the birds every winter for the past 14 years. this year I have yet to get the feeders out and filled. And I have the seed, from last year!

Forgive me, forgot about the pigeons! I think I really like this thread, thanks!

Yes, sometimes it is hard to keep up with cleaning them and filling them. I got 10 lbs. of seed this year, the squirrels eat all the sunflower seeds out of it but the birds don't seem to mind. Have to make hummingbird nectar and clean the feeder every 3 to 5 days. It's SO worth it for me and the cat loves watching them

Do you have hummers year round there? I know some of BC is far more temperate than we are!
