My new birds

Hi, so we moved about 3 months back to Mullica Hill New Jersey. We live on three acres and are almost surrounded by woods.
 I have feeders put up in the front yard but none in the back (no idea why!) and we don't get as many birds as our old house (surprisingly).Ive already done my thing where I take bad raw meat and throw it outside for the Turkey Vultures, That worked and also attracted a Peregrine Falcon, but he just stayed in the air.
 Also a couple weeks after moving in a Juvenile 2 years old Bald Eagle showed up along with a few Ospreys. The juncos here are very numerous along with THE STARLINGS!!!!! The starlings show up in hundreds, but I don't mind them.
There are lots of Hairy Woodpeckers here and just one Red-bellied Woodpecker (I'm still trying to figure out a name). In the spring and summer there are turkeys, and a few deer will come every now and then. I actually caught one of the Turkeys just by cornering it and grabbing it, but it was a baby. An adult would have probably killed me!!
I'm hoping that when spring and summer roll around that the hummingbirds will come in numbers, one had came in the summer last year but only returned a few times.

    So thats a little bit of whats happening here, I'll try to post more as more stuff happens.

             I'll also post my picture with me and the turkey :P
