I live in south-central Pennsylvania, USA.  For Activity #2, there are birds from several groups that visit our feeders.  The mourning doves don't seem to eat on the feeders themselves, but they pick at the mess that the other birds make on the ground.  I like their calls.  We have a lot of the songbird - eastern bluebird.  A pair has built a nest and laid 4 eggs in the nest box we installed for our neighbor.  Hopefully, we will see babies in a few weeks?  I don't know how long it takes.  Then we have several of the woodpecker group, including flickers, hairy woodpeckers, and red-bellied woodpeckers.  As Activity #3, I chose those red-bellied as my favorite bird I've been seeing.  They strongly prefer the suet feeder that we have, although I have seen them on the tube seed feeder a few times as well.  I think its a struggle for such a large bird to eat at our tube feeder.  I think the large woodpeckers are charismatic and fascinating.  I will try to post some photographs sometime soon.
