I have been watching birds from a novice point of view for over 55 years and you have given me some wonderful information. I started watching birds with my grandmother when I was little and over the years, she and I would talk about our "Finds". I called her from my home in North Carolina to tell her about the Pilliated woodpecker in my back yard - I was 26 yrs old at the time. I feed the birds in my back yard and am showing my grandchildren the excitement that goes on out there. We have rabbits that visit the ground feeder too. Just this week, one of our employees brought in a (unfortunately) dead female humming bird. While I was delighted to see it up close and marvel at the wonderfulness of it's little body, I also felt sad. I will keep checking your site and will continue to feed the birds. Thank you, Kate.
