We get a ton of cool birds around our house (my wife has a dozen feeders and bird baths around our house). If anyone has an interest in birds, there is a cool (free) iPhone app called "Merlin" to help identify birds. It is made by Cornell U:

Neat. I just downloaded it and sent the link to my daughter for her kids. I am managing to pass the bird watching/feeding down to another generation. This will help.
 
had a bunch of different woodpeckers at my suet feeder all winter and a pair of cardinals and unfortunately I came home one day last week and found the female cardinal dead at the side of the road :sorrow:
 
Unfortunately Grackles have overtaken our property. The past few years hundreds have now made our home their permanent residence.
 
Home-town heroes! Just up the road from me, Cornell's Ornithology lab is second to none. We have the Merlin software. It's amazing. I plan to take a drive up to Sapsucker Woods this summer and take a hike. It's owned by Cornell.
We just got back from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The Pea Island wildlife reserve is fantastic for bird-watching too.
 
We also have a lot of birds of various types. My wife also has a dozen feeders around the place, the birds eat better than I do! But my favorite is the humming birds we get. There's a feeder under the porch by our kitchen window and we watch them all the time. I'm amazed at the different colors they display. PJ
 
What do you use in your HB feeders.
I did the homemade stuff and they thumb their beaks at it

I've always just mixed plain sugar and water - can't keep enough for 'em!
 
That's what I use.
They prefer the Fuchsia's next to instead
