Yellow numbered arrows:
1.  Bird feeder on pole in center of yard, filled with bridseed/sunflower mix, with a boxed area below to catch scattered seed on dirt
2.  Hanging feeder from a long, curved pole, filled with niger thistle/cracked sunflower mix — heavily used by goldfinches, siskins
3. In April 2005, we installed a fountain. It runs on a recycling pump that can be turned on or off from inside the house. Very much used by a wide variety of birds when we have it running; and many bathe in it when it is not running
4. A small water dish on the patio that towhees, sparrows, and some others prefer over the fountain

Out of sight, around the corner to the left, is a hummingbird feeder, and against the garage to the right are flowering plants. Several bird-houses are scattered around the yard, and often used by chickadees.

Light Blue numbered arrows:
1.  A non-native "money tree" eucalyptus. Most of the rest of the yard is native trees and plants but the "money tree" was in place and full-grown when I bought the house and, as it blooms in our fall/winter, attracts many passerines in winter while proving numerous perches throughout the year. A falling pine in Dec 2005 wiped out 75% of the original tree, leaving only the trunk and a few branches. Yet it is still heavily used daily
2. In spring 2005, we fenced the backyard patio area, primarily to exclude deer and slow down local neighborhood cats. Those purposes have been fulfilled — the deer no longer eat every growing thing on the patio and the cats are somewhat (although no entirely) deterred — but the birds pay no attention to the fence, except to use as an additional perching spot
3. We also replaced a pre-existing brick patio with a Trex patio designed to accommodate the bird feeder as its centerpiece [John Sorensen and crew built the deck and fence]. This has helped make maintenance much easier, and many birds forage on it actively, rather well-protected from cats.
4. A baffle below the bird feeder has so far deterred the racoons (who would otherwise clean out the entire feeder every night) but the squirrels have not been baffled. [They have, however, been excluded from the hanging thistle feeder by a different baffle and the length of the curved pole.]

Orange numbered arrows:
1.  An Acorn Woodpecker is atop the primary bird feeder
2. An American Goldfinch is perched near the thistle feeder [that one is hard to see; same bird on the feeder, but closer, is shown to the right
3. A squirrel is checking out the water dish [alas, its a non-native Eastern Fox Squirrel]
4. A pile of sunflower shells on the chair reveal a favored perch of a Steller's Jay
