Appreciation post: My feeder tally hit 15 different species this morning

I've been keeping a little notebook by the kitchen window for about a year now, and I finally saw a ruby-crowned kinglet flitting around the suet... that made number 15. It's just a simple tube feeder and a water dish, but it feels like a real milestone. What's the highest number of species you've all managed to attract to one spot?

Honestly feels like you're just making the birds lazy. They should be out finding their own food in nature, not depending on your handouts.

My feeder is just a snack stop, not their whole grocery store.

Same here. Mine only come for the sunflower seeds.
