I joined the birdfeeding https://birdfeeding.dreamwidth.org/ community! Here's my intro info from there:

location: SE Michigan

my interests in birds: I come from a family of birders on my Dad's side. My first word was "bird," definitely coached! I know how to use a bird book, and I have my own binoculars. Actually, they're a hand-me-down from my grandmother, some very nice Leitz. I always notice birds, but I can only remember the very common or very unusual ones without looking them up.

my yard: quiet suburb with mostly 1/4 acre yards, lots of feeders around. I have a squirrel "resistant" feeder that doesn't do crap: they hang on it to eat and also just shake it to get seed to the ground. The rabbits eat what the squirrels leave behind. I have 1 suet cage and a nyjer net. neighborhood cats come around rarely because we have a big dog.

general habitat: Midwest/Northeast mixed hardwoods and conifers. Lots of maples and oaks, plus interesting shrubbery. we get snow and cold weather 4-5 months a year, so migrations matter. Canada geese spend their summers on the local golf courses!

some birds I see: cardinals, blue jays, house sparrows, red-headed woodpeckers, nuthatches, mourning doves, misc finches, sometimes goldfinches. in the sky we have great blue herons, turkey vultures (of course), red-wing hawks, and sometimes bald eagles. owls are often heard and rarely seen. I think we have a big one (great-horned?) in the local patch of woods!
