[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 332589, member: 1963"] What I found best for attracting birds anywhere in the US where I've lived, is to put up suet blocks. Some with seeds in them. Some with fruit in them, even some with mealworms in them. Nearly ALL birds will eat suet in colder weather, and the different flavors attract different birds. I have NOT found peanut butter to be a good attractant. The suet works great for birds seeking a quick energy boost--very important in the cold weather. Once your birds are coming, you can put out some thistle seed feeders. These attract goldfinches and several other finch species. Sunflower seeds (oil seed, not the stuff we eat) are a great multi purpose bird food, and if you want to attract cardinals, you can mix a bit of safflower seed in their as well. [/QUOTE]
