The link below is to a photo of a young Black-headed Grosbeak in my yard
that is still trying to differentiate between the edible and inedible.

Interesting to me to watch a young Black-headed Grosbeak happily eating
from one of our suet feeders.

It readily clings to the wires and feeds much like a woodpecker or any of
the other opportunistic suet eaters, Bewick's wren, Jays, Starlings, Song
sparrows(!) and so forth.

I understand that food is food and yet watch in wonder as so many species
eat where I would not have expected them to.
