I own and run a 20ac garden center & nursery in southeast Pennsylvania, have several thousands pairs of nesting birds on the property's trees, and feed them 150-200lbs of seed a week, during the winter months.

Here's a great resource for birdfeeding:

Keep us informed, s. I'm interested...

Wow! And I thought I went through a lot! Good thing you get it wholesale! That's a lot of birds.

I'm not really sure what to plant, partly because I'm not sure yet what I already have. This will be my first Spring in this place and I may not be able to identify some of the plants and shrubbery until it leafs out, or even blooms. I'd like to plant a Dogwood, but it wouldn't flower this year. I also would like to attract Cedar Waxwings. They seem to be kind of fickle little birds, but very enjoyable to watch. I know they are native to the area and they eat berries of some sort. I haven't seen any since I lived in Georgia.

Where are you? I'm in Springfield, Delco and have five feeders. I'd rather watch the birds than TV.
