I've kept a bird feeder out my dining room window for a bit now and recently we have had some new birds come to visit. I was so excited to see the tiny little blue birds...Indigo Bunting. They are about as small as the sparrows that frequent the feeder. In Indiana we have the Bluebird, but I'd never seen this blue beauty till last week. I must have a better variety of feed to have attracted them.
I also noticed the Rose-breasted Grosbeak a few days later which is another new citing. At first I thought they were Baltimore Orioles, but after looking them up on my Merlin Bird ID app, I was able to identify them correctly. If you like knowing what birds are in our area, you might want to go to the App store and download it for free. It's a handy little tool.
Two regular visitors are the Blue Jay and the Red-headed Woodpecker.
