Happy Blog Anniversary to me: A look back over the last year

Four years ago today I started to blog about common questions people were asking at our Wild Birds Unlimited store.

I'm still answering questions, now more than ever. With over 630 Likes on Facebook and 3200 followers Twitter, the blog's readership continues to grow!

According to Blogger's statistics page of the Wild Birds Unlimited Mid-Michigan blog:

-There have been over 300,000 visits to the blog in the last year.

-87% of the readers live in the US, and the rest live in other countries.
-20% of US readers live in Michigan

I thought it would be fun to look back and see what people were reading.

The following is a list of the top 15 most read posts from this year. Click on the title to read the full post:

1. Why feed birds in the fall 
2. The best bee-proof hummingbird feeder 
3. Why the color on a hummingbirds’ throat flashes  
4. Why robins are called Robin Redbreast 
5. There’s more to a jay than any other creature 
6. Do turkeys eat ticks or carry ticks?

I appreciate all the questions and kind feedback. If you need information or would like to share a story or photo you can email me at bloubird@gmail.com. I answer emails as soon as I can and then post my responses in the blog eventually. I try to space the posts out evenly over the month. 

Or you can come in to the stores. I'm usually at the Wild Birds Unlimited store in East Lansing, Michigan.

It's never a bother to answer questions. At Wild Birds Unlimited, we strive to offer the best customer service, top quality seed, feeders, and information to make sure you have the best backyard bird feeding experience possible. 

Thank you for supporting our local business,
Sarah
