Backyard Birds in the US and Canada Minimize

Backyard Birds You Might See

Many birds will come to feeders in your yard. Others might nest in your yard, with suitable habitat, but never come down to a feeder at all!

Across the entire US and Canada there may be as many as 150 possible species you might see in a typical backyard -- and in your area you may see as many as 60-80 of these birds. (Of course, if you live at the seashore or near a large lake you can easily see even more birds in your "backyard.")
