  1. Looks to be very similar to the list from my farm in Indiana with a few difference. No barred owl, but great-horned owl, only hear the screech owls – they give me the willies. No hairys or sapsuckers, only downy woodpeckers and the others. Hawks are generally red-tailed, but sometimes a Cooper’s hawk picks a bird off the feeder. Every 3 year or so a bald eagle. You must like the little chipping sparrow as much as I do, you have it listed twice. King birds are our main fly catchers. Also get nightjars. And if I go down to the creeks I can see kingfishers.
