Best backyard week I've had in ages - 7 species in one morning
Last Tuesday I woke up early and decided to sit outside with coffee instead of checking my phone. Within 20 minutes I had a blue jay, two cardinals, a downy woodpecker, and this weird brown streaky bird I couldn't ID. Turns out it was a female red-winged blackbird, never seen one in my yard before. Later that same week a Cooper's hawk landed on my fence and scared everything off for two days straight. Anyone else get those random amazing days followed by total silence?

Put out a small water feature, that brought way more birds than feeders ever did.

Right? The water thing is huge. I put out a cheap plastic birdbath, one of those shallow ones that sits right on the ground. Doves and robins go nuts for it every afternoon.
