Let's see your feeders

For now I only feed the birds and take part in the annual Christmas bird count, but I often look through and admire the photos in the bird photo section. There are really some incredible photos in there. Someday I'll get into taking pictures of them too but since my biggest lens is only a 90mm I can't get very close to them.

For those of you that feed the birds at your home what kind of feeders are you using?

I currently have four feeders. A ceder one, the globe style one, a bowl on the ground and a niger feeder. I'll likely add a few more in the spring.

What a mess! I'll have to rake up the leftover seeds before the snow falls again. It's been a funny winter this year. We get a dump of snow and within a few days it's melted again. Usually the ground is covered all winter long and we don't see the grass again until spring.

And two more. The tray feeder is an old satellite dish and for my peanut-lard mix I drilled one inch holes in a section of a log and and attached it to a deck post.

Just a standard "anti squirrel" cage type feeder.

Really inexpensive one that is currently inundated with pine siskins and goldfinches. They can empty it on one day.

I have some feeders for the yard and then I have portable feeders that I use on set ups wherever I go.

Feeder made from piece of wood and holes filled with suet. Pileated Woodpecker feeding.

Wonderful design, Jerry!

Lots of great feeders!

I've read where people have set up a pole with sticks in it nearby the feeders. Is anyone here doing this? I live in the sticks so I think all I need to do is have a feeder near the trees in my back yard.

Really stunning feeders. Seriously impressed guys.

Here's one, popular with many species, that I made from a $2 Walmart water bottle, an old lid and part of a broken salad strainer.

I have different configurations depending on the season and who I want to encourage/discourage.

Typical winter setup (I have a webcam on my main feeder station):
