Pretty much the same cast of characters we get (no surprise as are locations are pretty close) - downy, hairy, sometimes a red-bellied woodpecker, blue jay, chickadee, titmouse; juncos mostly on the ground; cardinals, goldfinch in the Spring and also more rarely a rose-breasted grosbeak (males in breeding plumage are stunning), purple finches. About four decades back we got many evening grosbeaks in mid-winter, but there hasn't been one for many years; also back then we'd sometimes get pine siskins, also now absent for many years. Red squirrels come and go, as their local population runs a boom-bust cycle. And oh yes, bears, which means getting a new feeder and listening to admonitions about not attracting bears so don't fill another feeder please.
