Plenty Cardinals around central Ohio. They’re always hanging around my Junipers. The most common birds at my feeders are Chickadees, Downeys, Hairys, Red Bellied peckers, Yellow Shafted peckers, Chickadees, White Breasted Nuthatches, House Finches, Gold Finches, Blue Jays, Tufted Titmice,Bluebirds, Starlings, Robins ( not so many the last couple weeks), Carolina Wrens although I haven’t seen one lately. Some Song Sparrows, an occasional House sparrow, lately bunches of Doves and Juncos. Saw a Purple Finch a few weeks ago and a Red Breasted Nuthatch last week and the occasional Brow Creeper and Grey Catbirds. Crows but they don’t eat at the feeders.
There are others around but this is most of what I’ve seen lately.
I heard Pine Siskens are around but haven’t seen any yet.
We didn’t put up any feeders till late June (New hobby) and it took a couple of weeks for ‘em to get cookin good. Looking forward to next year.
In regards to the squirrels... I use hot pepper food in my feeders in the back. They won’t eat it.
My feeders in the front are baffled.
