[birdky] Re: feeder contents

I keep a sack of blended bird seed which has large and small grain millet
and black oil sunflower seed plus another sack of pure black oil sunflower
seed. Some blends also include wheat and corn but my birds won't eat wheat
and corn as long as they can get millet or sunflower seeds. I also have a
thistle sack for the Goldfinches and a couple of suet cakes.
  My feeder population has grown since the weather has gotten so bad, but
the Bluebirds don't like any of my offerings. My regulars in the feeder area
are, in order of abundance - House Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow,
Goldfinch, Cardinal, White-throated Sparrow, Blue Jay, Song Sparrow,
Mockingbird, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Chickadee, Carolina Wren, Field
Sparrow, and Red-bellied Woodpecker.
  Sporadic visitors - House Finch, Starling, Cowbird, Grackle.
