A few weeks ago I posted a poll asking how many bird feeders people had. We’ve had 8 responses (7 in addition to our own) so far and once again Pam and I have some work to do!
Bird Feedin’ Maniacs
I thought we were doing pretty good with having four feeders in our yard. It turns out that we had the fewest! Here’s how things break down so far:
- Four Feeders 1 (that’s us)
- Seven or More 3 (These were before I added more options so some of these might have much more than 7 feeders!)
- Seven to Ten 3
- Sixteen or More 1 (I think I know who you are but I won’t tell
)
Frankly, I’m impressed. There are some serious bird feeding people out there. I’m sure the birds appreciate it!
I’ll keep the survey open so new readers who find the post can add to it.
Keep Participating
Thanks to all of you who read the blog and participate in the polls. I enjoy seeing the results and I hope you do as well. If you haven’t responded to the latest poll “Where do you buy your birdseed” please do. We’re getting a little more participation with this one so weigh in if you haven’t yet.

A couple of weeks ago I posted the first poll on the site titled “How Many Birds Are On Your Life List“. Being new birders we wanted to see what we were up against as far as number of birds seen.
The Envelope Please
Well, we have some results, though not as many as I would have hoped. But, this was the first, of what I hope will be many, polls/surveys on the site so it’s a good start.
There have been 8 responses so far and here is how it broke down:
- 0-50 birds- 25%
- 251-500- 25%
- 501-750- 50%
Wow, some serious birders read this blog! I guess I should be flattered, thanks for reading. Both Pam and I are in the 0-50 bird group and it’s a little hard to imagine having more than 500 birds on our life list. So, whoever you are that has 500+ birds on your life list, congratulations are in order! That’s a fantastic achievement and we hope to be there one day as well.
I will keep this poll open so as new readers find this blog (Spread The Word!) they can take the poll as well.
Stay Tuned For More
This was only the first of many polls that I have planned. There are so many things that I’d like to know about all you birders out there. I plan on doing another one here in a couple of days. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for poll questions you’d like to see answered please let me know!
