There’s so much more than just filling feeders involved in getting birds to consider your property a bird mecca. This film offers solid advice about what birds want in their environment.
Starlings
Mockingbird: A Plague upon Starlings
These Starlings, straight out of Hitchcock, don’t intimidate a Mockingbird. He can scatter thirty of them like ashes in a gust of wind.

Those ugly Starlings
Ugly: Robber of Red-bellied Woodpecker Nests
But beautiful: admit it.
Red-bellied Woodpecker Defends His Nest against Starlings
Red-bellied Woodpeckers and Starlings are arch enemies, mainly because Starlings so often gang up and attempt to seize nesting holes that the Red-bellies have just dug. Watch to see gorgeous closeups of a Red-bellied male calling for a mate and excavating a cavity. Then watch the battle that ensues for possession of the hole.
