I am brand new to bird watching. I have a feeder about 10 feet away from my couch, through a glass door. I can watch birds with binoculars. It's great.
I have a pinecone stuffed with peanut butter and black oil sunflower seeds hanging on the railing of my porch that i can see. Also a block of suet in a holder.
Small gray birds come in groups of 10-12 or more to feed on the pinecone. They seem to love peanut butter.
I see other kinds of birds sometimes. One with a bright yellow helmet and chest. Wow! Today I saw a woodpecker pecking at the suet. I looked him up in a guide.
Other birds seem nondescript. Beige chests and gray feathers. Short beaks.
Any suggestions for me?
