I recently added three birdfeeders to my small yard in central NJ.  It has been fun to see new birds arrive to feast.  I find the starlings who fight for the suet cakes the most interesting to watch.  I have been lucky enough to see the fledglings arrive at the suet with their parents and/or other adults.  The adults can be quite aggressive toward the fledglings - I assume not their own young.  The blue jay who comes occasionally is also very aggressive. We've had three types of woodpecker and one flicker.  All birds that I had never seen growing up in the cities of NJ.
