Birdwatcher/lover here! I miss the birds from our previous house including a resident pair of barred owls plus just a greater variety than what I see here. We do have some different birds here though. We live on a small lake, herons and osprey come to fish. I'm hoping one day an eagle will find the pond and put on a show! We get interesting migrating ducks all spring. I have seed feeders out all year and a nice pair of binoculars. I have a camera that I'm still barely capable of using.
@whitewave Try spreading your hummingbird feeders farther apart or even out of sight from each other. Even when one hummer gets territorial others can still get in to feed. There are usually a few smart ones waiting out of sight and when the territorial bird is busy chasing they swoop in for a quick sip.
@LisaRN Carolina Wrens are what I miss the most here! They are such fun birds with big voices and big personalities. I did see a house wren this year but I haven't given up hope of a Carolina Wren finding it's way here.
Thanks, yes, I moved them farther apart and now I’m feeding a lot more hummingbirds.
