Who eats where?

I am a novice, both at bird feeding and bird watching.  I have gotten a lot of my ideas from the internet or looking at feeders sold locally.  If you think I am doing something wrong (or right :-)), please let me know.  I will try to add suggestions I get to the site, too.  Thanks.

This feeder hangs twelve to twenty feet off the ground, in a maple tree.  I put mixed birdseed in it and sometimes bread crumbs.  The birds who use it are:

American Goldfinches Black-capped Chickadees Black-headed Grosbeaks Brown-headed Cowbirds Chestnut-backed Chickadees Dark-eyed Juncos European Starlings Golden-crowned Kinglets

Hairy Woodpeckers House Finches Pine Siskins Red-breasted Nuthatches Ruby -crowned Kinglets Song Sparrows Spotted Towhees Steller's Jays

This feeder is in a flowerbed at the base of the maple tree where the feeder above hangs.  I put mixed birdseed it it.  The birds who eat here are:

Black-capped Chickadees Black-headed Grosbeaks Chestnut-backed Chickadees Dark-eyed Juncos

House Finch Red-breasted Nuthatches Golden-crowned Sparrow Song Sparrow

This feeder pole is usually about ten feet away from the house, with no cover for the birds closer than 25 feet.  I keep a suet mixture in the wire cage.  The birds who eat the suet here are:
