Top Photo: Northern Mockingbird (not really a feeder bird, but I like the picture).

Here’s 19 species (18 birds, 1 mammal) to keep an eye out for at Bird Viewing in Catch the Wind (there’s a cluster of bird feeders at the site).

None of the birds (or mammal) are rare. All are year-round residents except four, a woodpecker, a sparrow, a warbler, and a thrush (October-April). Most of the birds visit the feeders on a regular basis. If you sit in one of the Adirondack chairs at the exhibit long enough you’re likely to see them all.

So sit down, take a break, relax, and have a look.

In no particular order…

This is not a complete list of all the species seen at the feeders, but a sampling of the regulars. Species like red-breasted nuthatch, pine siskin, and others may stop in during winters when food is scarce up north. And anything’s likely to drop in during migration.

Keep your eyes opened and let me know what you see!
