Hi Matt,
I do not offer bird food in feeders. Would you like information about the birds
in my yard and what trees and areas they utilize and what activities I observe?

Dear Umpqua Birders,
I am working on a part of the Umpqua Birds website (www.umpquabirds.org) that
will give photos and quick info on the most common birds in backyards (or any
yards) of Douglas County. I would like your help. I would like some "real life"
data from your yard. Here is my request: Could you reply to this email with a
list of the most common birds you have in your yard, and which feeder(s) they
use, if at all? For example:
Dark-eyed Junco--common at seed feeders
White-throated Sparrow--average 1 per winter at seed feeder
Lesser Goldfinsh--common at thistle feeder
White-breasted Nuthatch--seed and suet feeders
Anna's Hummingbird--hummingbird feeder
Varied Thrush--on ground under seed feeder
Red-tailed Hawk--flies around nearby
Red-breasted Sapsucker--one on pine tree most winters
Western Tanager--see every spring in trees in yard but not at feeders
If you want to tell me more, such as "only in summer" or something like that,
feel free, but something like the above examples would be greatly appreciated.
If you have photos of your feeder/yard birds that you would like to share, let
me know. I will acknowledge all contributions of yard/feeder lists and photos
that I use to make the website.
Feel free to reply to the whole list or just to me. I think most folks would be
interested to compare their yard "bird community" with others.
For my purposes I would appreciate these within the next couple weeks if you
would like to contribute. Thanks!
