The Front Porch Bird Buffet - Fall & Winter 2012 to 2013 We have these two feeders hanging (one with safflower seeds and another with sunflower seeds), along with two thistle seed socks and two suet feeders hanging. We also put a pile of millet and cracked corn and sunflower seeds under the porch for the ground birds (doves, blue jays, and even the squirrels). Then there's mealworms in a plate and a heated birdbath of course for those luxurious bird spa days.

Male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker on Holly Tree at Front Porch This winter visitor to our habitat is not always fondly thought of since they're drilling of holes around a trunk can cause the plant to die from being girdled. This happened to one of our pyracantha (Firethorn) bushes. They are really beautiful birds though and they enjoy our suet feeders, so hopefully they'll eat less sap which is why they drill the holes in the trunks of trees and large bushes.
