Hello!
I have about 20 Evening Grosbeaks at my feeder and on the ground and in
the trees. Last year the Band-Tailed Pigeons were so bad, my grosbeaks
never even went to the feeders. This year I switched out a tray feeder for
a very large Wild Birds Unlimited feeders, specifically for this issue.
It's paid off. In 2022, I had well over 150 in our garden and woods. fUI,
we are a 7 acre heavily wooded lot, with 100+ acres of forest and wetland.
By not filling the tray feeders, the most I've had as far as the pigeons
has been about 10. Last year I had over 40.
Happy Birding,
Vicki Biltz
Buckley, WA.
