We feed them too. We love watching them. We have cardinals, tufted titmice, downy woodpeckers, goldfinch, red-bellied woodpeckers, purple finches, bluejays, nuthatches, chickadees, sparrows and juncos coming on to our deck in winter. We have other birds that don’t come to the deck or that are only here in the warm months: hairy woodpeckers, pileated woodpeckers, great barred owls, redtail hawks, sharp-shinned hawks, crows, rose-breasted grosbeaks, baltimore orioles, scarlet tanagers, blue herons, canada gueese, ruby throated hummingbirds, carolina wrens, phoebes, eastern towhee, cedar waxwings and wild turkeys.

Your list of bird types that come to your feeder pretty much duplicates mine, With one exception. There was a strange looking, tall bird that looked like some kind of woodpecker doing his thing in my yard by my kitchen window, and I picked up my birds of north america book that I always have close, and confirmed that it was a Yellow-Shafted Flicker. Weird.
