Again, I mainly use millt and safflower, and get a nice variety. Mark did buy some mixed seeds, and I have black oil sunflower held back. I skimp on sunflower because the squirrels trash the feeder right away when it's in there.
Sizzlin Suet with cayenne and peanut chips is very well liked. Nuthatches, wrens, both visit often, and others.
The bluebirds are still here! Two pairs? or about four of them, were around my Sizzlin Suet. Also hung there is an onion bag holding a chunk of dried mealworms. They look rehydrated today so I'm glad it will be cold to preserve them.
A starling comes by itself (starling outcast??) and gets on the suet, but at least the other birds then sit below it and pick up all the crumbs he knocks off.
Something went quickly though a cupfull of food in the front, in a short time we were out. Either a squirrel, or the mess of house finches and or english sparrows that hang out in the hedges. I like to think the sparrows will become hawk chow and thus spare the native birds.
And, we got a birdbath heater for the first time, so we're hoping to see the birds enjoy that this weekend.
