Sparrows, finches, doves, wrens, woodpeckers, hummingbirds (who hover in the window if their feeders are low) and lots of birds I don't recognize. But my favorite is the hawk who hangs around and the little birds don't mind him but the neighborhood cats stay away.lefuntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912855783660520930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-15338919391258147932017-10-13T06:44:39.189+11:002017-10-13T06:44:39.189+11:00How interesting!

I live in an apartment on the 5th floor with a small balcony but I'm still able to attract hummingbirds in the summer and suet feeders bring woodpeckers. I also put peanuts out for bluejays who are quite brazen in letting me know if the supply has run low.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283575512727062312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-58302901354030586012017-10-10T08:42:20.195+11:002017-10-10T08:42:20.195+11:00How fascinating!

Although at night there are raccons, possum, and skunks who come down from the trees. There are a lot of birds here. Sometimes in the summer I can even spot a hummingbird. My favorie are cardinals, especially in the winter when the male cardinal's striking red feathers contrast with the dreary landscape.Chattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712234177027029029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-33112658603692084692017-10-10T01:44:40.436+11:002017-10-10T01:44:40.436+11:00How cool!!!How cool!!!Moois van miehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100507341401660471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-85382435935249349272017-10-10T00:26:07.201+11:002017-10-10T00:26:07.201+11:00This is so cool!

He is definitely quite striking.

One day we put one of them up crocked which left a little pocket on one side and they took to it. So we just leave that one up all the time now so they can sleep there safely at night. Once they start nesting again next spring we can lower it again (and probably need to or they may nest in it--tho they are very clean nesters, as we have had many nearby in the past). Thanks for taking the time to share with us your garden and wild friends.Cheryl @ Simply Shoeboxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128246500106501585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-69487110127959339252017-10-09T23:51:38.479+11:002017-10-09T23:51:38.479+11:00How marvelous that you have a bowerbird share your...How marvelous that you have a bowerbird share your garden!

We had a pair of eagles spend the fall with us atop the tallest douglas firs. They ended up moving on. Then there are my territorial hummingbirds (rufus) who stay for my flowers. If I run out of sugar nectar, they start dive bombing me, telling me to make some more. We don't have really tame birds though - too many predators.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468763091074811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-33766458221848167602017-10-09T23:21:06.886+11:002017-10-09T23:21:06.886+11:00It was most interesting to read about the Bowerbir...It was most interesting to read about the Bowerbird and I enjoyed the great photos.
