Dutchess County Winter Birds

[victorb]

I live in Southern Dutchess County and have been stocking several bird feeders for several years. I generally get a pretty good sampling of finches, wrens, cardinals, blue jays, wood peckers, and doves. This year I have noticed no blue jays and very few cardinals. The rest are basically on par.

What birds are everyone else getting? Are my blue jays at your feeders?

I live in northern Dutchess and get about the same,cardinals chickadees,titmice,nuthatches, there are a couple pileated woodpeckers hangimg around and a couple grosbeaks that come around every couple weeks. In the summer there are plenty of hummingbirds and some indigo buntings that live here.

the blue jays stay up in the woods and have never bothered us.
