If you have ever wondered how many species of birds visit our feeders, here are some figures you might find interesting.
Across the country, some 350 species of birds feed at our feeders. Ninety of these species are either regular or casual diners. The remaining 260 species are rare visitors.
Here in the Peach State, those of us that feed birds in our yards can attract as many as 25-35 species to our bird cafes.
How many species of birds do you feed in your backyard?
I can’t even begin to count the number of different birds that we feed. I’m always amazed whenever a new species appears. The Red-breasted grosbeaks left about 10 days ago. We saw the males for around 10 days and after they left a couple of females came around for about a week. Last year, they didn’t visit. It was so good to see them again this year!
