[PYRPYRFECT@xxxxxxx]

The suet cage in our yard hangs from a clothesline strung between an apple 
tree and the deck rail.  It is kept charged with Martha Sargent's 
super-surefire peanut butter and lard mixture.  the last two days I have 
observed a female summer tanager fly to the cage, hover underneath it like a 
hummingbird and pick off pieces of the suet cake.  It then flies to the apple 
tree to rest, then returns for more suet-picking.
