[Susanna <sfewduczer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a red breasted nuthatch that eats black oil sunflower seeds from my 
feeder in my little sub-divided plot in the middle of town, population 9,000. 
   
  It amuses me to see it land on the feeder even though the marauding squirrel 
is also perched there.  Not at all like the other birds.

          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
