While Mother Nature has dumped 5 to 6 inches of new snow on us over night , we
have also received more birds to our feeder areas. A new grand total of 10 Fox
Sparrows
and male Pileated Woodpecker were at our feeding areas. A gallon of black oil
sunflower
seed with a pint of mixed seed scattered on our concrete patio attracts all
sorts of birds in-
cluding the 10 Fox Sparrows. The Pileated Woodpecker came to a locust tree
that is
beside a group of hanging feeders including a suet feeder. After watching him
for about
15 minutes , the phone rang and I left him clinging to the tree. When I
returned he was
gone. I doubt he ate anything for the current suet feeder is too small and the
suet cakes
probably not to his liking.
