[Renee Grebe <grebe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had one that came religiously to the feeder last year, all winter long.  And, 
despite adding a suet feeder recently, not a single red breasted nuthatch has 
shown itself to me this winter (yet!).  The white breasted are around once and 
a while, but not as much as they were last winter either.
