The feeders are located in a grassy and wooded private backyard looking out over the Blue Ridge Mountains of the western Carolinas. The area is filled with azaleas, rhododendron, black walnut, pecan, oak, maple, hickory, sweet gum, poplar, magnolia, and dogwood which all offer food and shelter to the many varieties of birds and animals. Chickadees, juncos, goldfinch, blue jays, and mourning doves come to the feeder throughout the entire day. The most activity usually occurs in the evening when the nuthatches, titmice, woodpeckers, cardinals and towhees join in the feeding. Many different varieties of birds pass through the area and stop by the feeders periodically.
Indigo buntings are frequent visitors and normally stay in the area about a week before moving on.
The feeders are very busy immediately before or after bad weather with snow driving the most activity. Many birds come to the feeders during migration with spring and fall bringing many delightful varieties of birds. Visit this page often as we enhance and improve it daily.
