I'm new here and I didn't find anywhere to introduce myself, so I hope you don't mind my just "barging in" and posting.

Right now I'm keeping a number of cakes, a fruit & nut mix, peanuts, goldfinch mix, and safflower. I change them around sometimes to keep what's currently coming interested. So far this year I've gotten Tufted Titmice, Gray Catbirds, Northern Orioles, along with the regulars; Blue Jays, various Woodpeckers, Starlings, Common Grackles, House Sparrows, Finches, and Mourning Doves. A male Ruby-throated Hummingbird checked out my feeder and Salvias in May, but never came back.

In this photo can be seen from left to right, a Gray Catbird at the Hot Pepper cake, a Downy Woodpecker at the orange cake, and a female Red-bellied Woodpecker just above the Salvias on the Wodpecker cake. That was a very special moment, to be able to see that and catch it "on film."

If someone would direct me to an Introduction Thread, I'd be happy to introduce myself. Thanx!
