The Pacific Northwest has so many native species of birds that it can be hard to keep track of which ones are visiting your birdfeeder each day. To get a wide variety of birds to eat at your feeder try using a variety of food to lure them; sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, peanuts and traditional bird seed are food types that can be used to attract different birds.
You will be surprised how many different colors shapes and sizes of birds you will see. Gold finches, nut hatchers, cardinals, bluebirds, woodpeckers and doves are all frequent visitors to Pacific Northwest birdfeeders. If you’re really interested in identifying the birds purchase some bird-watching binoculars for a birds-eye view.
