Location:
The Cam looks out over the Blue Ridge Mountains
of the western Carolinas. The area is filled with azaleas,
rhododendron, black walnut, pecan, oak, maple, hickory, sweet gum, poplar,
magnolia, and dogwood - all of which offer food and shelter to many varieties of birds and
animals (including squirrels!, of course).

When is the best time to
watch?
Cardinals quite often feed
first thing in the morning and last in the evening. Chickadees, juncos,
goldfinch, blue jays, and mourning doves come to the feeder throughout the
entire day. The most activity tends to occur in the evening when nuthatches, titmice,
woodpeckers and towhees
join in.

Other varieties of birds pass through the area
and stop by the feeders periodically. Indigo buntings are frequent
visitors and normally stay in the area about a week or so before moving on.
Spring and fall migration can bring many unusual visitors. |
