Belmont Feeders & Field

[David Lewis]

New member here. Installed feeders at Christmas time, am now rewarded daily with chickadees, white-and red breasted nuthatches, LOTS of goldfinches (the yellows seem to be slowly intensifying as new feathers come in), American tree sparrows, an even dozen mourning doves. Blue jays, titmice, etc. Downy and hairy woodpeckers.

Favorites: two pairs of Ravens I've been watching for several years... I find their behavior fascinating. I may try to locate a nest when the snow thins out in the woods...

Learning a lot reading the posts here, thank you all.

Nifty graphic here. Watch a goldfinch bring that color on and lose it again:
