First Post to my Backyard Birding Blog

My name is Eric and I live in Central New Jersey. After living in this area for 15 years and now that my backyard is basically is “finished,” I have decided to focus on attracting birds to my backyard and to take pictures of them. This blog is my place to record and share what I see in my backyard.

From my house I have seen a number of different birds visit the few bird feeders that I have setup in my backyard. The birds include, from most often to less often seen:

Robins
House Finches
Sparrrows
Mourning Doves
Cardinals
Blue Jay
Mockingbirds
Starlings
Pigeons
Tufted Titmice
Red-bellied Woodpeckers
White Breasted Nuthatch
Yellow Finch
Red Winged Blackbirds
Blue Birds
Hummingbirds
Hawks

I am planning to work on attracting more hummingbirds and Orioles next spring. I will be taking pictures of the birds that visit the feeders and post them on the bolg. Be sure to check back for the pictures.

Until next time....
