The area that our house is in is actually designated as a no hunting area and a bird sanctuary. The set up we had was a birdbath, a corn holder for squirrels, and a little tray on a chain for bird feed. One time, I left the seed on the back porch and the crafty squirrels saw it on the table and ripped through the screen. Not a good move!
There are many species including jays, cardinal, woodpeckers, and tufted titmice. A tufted titmouse is a cute little gray bird with an orange beak and a little triangular tuft of feathers on its head if you have not seen one. A few people in the area have hummingbird feeders that are well populated, but I have yet seen a hummingbird. Once, I thought I did, but it turned out to be a hummingbird moth.
I think I just answered my question. If I had a hummingbird feeder, I would probably see them show up. I think the one at left is cute because it has the appearance of a regular bird feeder, and it would blend into a woodland setting and feeders for other species. With the studies showing the fluctuations in bees, it is so important to support the other pollinators such as these birds. There are many other beautiful feeders at Birdfeeders.com, and also a reference library of birds and their likes. I found that there is more than one species of these tiny birds in my area that I am going to keep an eye out for now. It might be a good idea to get to know who is in your neighborhood so you can lay out the right feast.
