I have not had a backyard feeder up for a long time due to squirrels, raccoons, major crimes unit stomped all over my experiment and I now I have millet growing everywhere. Well, despite all that, I put it up again and in no real span of time at all, pop there's a chickadee, and then another, and then a junco. This morning, pop, the first bird I saw on it was a Red-breasted nuthatch. I haven't seen one of those all summer.
Disclaimer: none of the birds mentioned ever made a "pop" sound. The pop was something going on in my head. It's probably nothing more than an aneurysm ... no worries.
So far, November (tail-end of year) backyard sightings:
Chickadee x 4 / DE junco x 1 / Red-breasted nuthatch x1
-
We are seeing lots of juncos, regular cardinals and mourning doves, a few white throats, a white breasted nuthatch, the occasional red breasted, the occasional chickadee, and the occasional downy.

Clearly, you've had a head start. After some activity this morning things have been quiet. But then again, it's raining.

November 12th:
Four juncos instead of just a single bird, single White-breasted nuthatch, single Am. goldfinch, single Am. Tree sparrows. What have I started here ... a singles club?
-
My feeder is on a cord 5 feet off the ground.
No critter can get to it and we have many night time visitors, Possum's, Skunks and Raccoons.
Feeder is very busy last few weeks

We have junco's at least 4 near the feeder this week.
One is smart enough to actually eat seed from the feeder.... black oil seed.
Being brief because internet is acting up.
