@AndyD said in Faunascrolling--what's visiting where you are?:
I had to search, anticipating some toilet humour
The creeper was on the tree the same time a nuthatch was, so at first I thought I was seeing two nuthatches; they have similar tree-climbing movements. Nuthatches move down a tree head first, though, and the one bird was only going upwards and then flying off and coming back. I finally got out my binoculars and got a better look at both of them and realized one was a newbie to my yard. Apparently my area is part of its winter habitat.
Oh, and we have had a ton of woodpeckers, too. Northern flicker and a couple of red-bellied woodpeckers.

I used to feed the birds during but stopped many years ago. On a whim I picked up a feeder at Costco a couple of weeks ago. It was on a closeout at my warehouse for $25.

Biggest problem for me is feeder placement. There aren't many places a) where I can get a wifi signal in the yard and b) where the squirrels can't get to the feeder. Lots of trees and shrubs and those rodents are so clever when it comes to figuring out ways to jump up, down, or sideways to get to the seed.
If you haven't seen them, check out Mark Rober's series on squirrels. Here's the first one:
