I lived near Cleveland, OH, about a mile from Lake Erie. And it turned out that my back yard was on the spring migration flight path for warblers. That was when I got my Peterson's. I was especially fond of the American redstart and the black-throated blue warbler - such pretty birds.

I have since moved further south, and the white-breasted nuthatch is my favorite among the birds that come to my feeder. They're such good little acrobats!
