If you would like to attract a wider variety of birds to your bird feeders you need to create a feeding environment that imitates the bird's natural feeding habitat.
Seeds placed on the ground or in feeding trays emulate the natural habitat of meadows and fields for towhees, quail, juncos and sparrows.
Forest birds like chickadees, titmice, finches, nuthatches and woodpeckers that are used to clinging to limbs as they forage for food will be attracted to tube and wooden feeders as well as suet feeders hung from trees or mounted on poles.
Birds that you can attract to ground, platform and elevated feeders include cardinals, grosbeaks and bluejays who are used to living in marginal habitats and forest edges and feeding both on the ground and in trees.
Feed at different levels and you will attract more birds for your winter enjoyment.
