Expect to see Downy Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, and European Starlings frequenting feeders.
Black-oil sunflower seeds – A staple for many birds.
Suet cakes – High in fat and ideal for colder months.
Dried mealworms – A great protein boost for non-migratory birds.
Nuts and peanuts – Perfect for woodpeckers and chickadees.
