["Millie" <kymillie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We live in St. Matthews in a subdivision and have never had a nuthatch of any 
kind visit out feeders (nor do we see them any other time of the year).  We do 
have the rest of the birds listed below, except no red-bellied woodpecker. We 
also have juncos, red-winged blackbirds, doves, etc.  We have a suet feeder out 
in addition to the other feeders. How can I attract a nuthatch to my yard, or 
do they avoid congested areas and prefer the countryside..... Millie Farmer
