This is the first I've heard of TN Birds Feeder Watch.
I had about an inch or two of snow cover by my feeders. I watched for a
little while this morning and then decided to go to work. There were 3
Carolina wrens around the suet feeder (the most I'd seen previously were 2).
Also several starlings, a red bellied woodpecker, a downy woodpecker, two
cardinals, two goldfinches, 5 crows eating the peanut butter crackers and
bread I always put out for them, a brown thrasher on the suet feeder (he/she
comes daily). A towhee, a white throated sparrow. All of this is normal
except for the starlings. Up until last weekend I'd not been bothered by
more than one or two starlings at a time. Then last week I made some suet
pudding from my leftover Thanksgiving turkey grease, peanut butter, bird
seed and flour (first ever attempt at using other than the store bought
kind) and it attracted the starlings in force (had 23 on Sunday). I didn't
have it out today, but they were there anyway.
Oh, and the usual bluejays (didn't count them today, but probably 6-8 of
them) who love the peanuts I give them each morning. And squirrels.
All of these are birds that normally come to the yard.
