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.")
