Identifying Backyard Birds

This guide to identifying backyard birds will help you learn which birds are visiting your yard and which ones are helpful. 

  • Hummingbirds eat aphids off of leaves and flowers, as well as gnats and fruit flies.

  • Wrens will search every corner of your garden to find enough insects to feed them and their families. They can have seven or eight chicks at a time.

  • Bluebirds love to eat grasshoppers. They can spot them from up to 100 feet away.

  • Red-Winged Blackbirds eat mostly insects during the summer months.

  • White-Throated Sparrows find insects in low-lying plants, like many of those in your vegetable garden.
