Birds to attract

Pick the bird first. Every entry below reads like a field guide page — foods, feeder types, range, placement, water and nesting notes — and ends with the short list of gear that actually serves that species. No bird here is attracted by wishful thinking; a few are attracted by patience, and we say so.
