Among the most popular feeder visitors from the northeast to the southwest are Northern Cardinals. The foods you offer and the feeders you use will fashion what birds visit your feeding station.
Cavity nesting birds like Eastern Bluebirds have benefited from the addition of artificial nesting cavities – nest boxes – that are actually better and safer than many natural cavities.
Hummingbirds are a favorite of birders who provide sugar-water nectar feeders and specialized flower gardens.

Each week we share a wealth of insightful information about how you can attract birds to observe in your yard, property, or neighborhood and benefit birds season after season by providing a variety of bird food and fresh water at your feeding station. We also share the importance of landscaping for birds, to provide shelter, nesting areas, and natural foods like fruit, berries, and seeds produced by trees, shrubs, flowering plants, and grasses. In this final Backyard Birding article of the year, we are providing a helpful list of articles published during 2024 that you can refer to anytime.
We start with information about foods, feeders, and feeding stations; transition into nest boxes, bird houses, and roosting boxes; continue with landscaping and gardening, and finish with optics and photography. In the process, we will provide a most important reference source for you to use whenever you need it – just by accessing the topic that interests you from our Archives library any given day or evening – anytime. You can access our Archives at the top of any issue of The Birding Wire, or by accessing the most recent issue on our website at BirdingWire.com – just click on the word Archives under the publication title: The Birding Wire. But we made it even easier than that by providing direct links to articles below.
