we have about 6 inches of snow (no ice on it) which attracted lots of unusual 
(for me) birds to the feeder.  about a million brown headed cowbirds and 20 or 
so starlings along with probably 15 grackles are there most of the day.  the 
starlings have unfortunately found the suet so I suspect they'll be back till 
they eat it all.  several tufted titmouse, one redwing blackbird (which I've 
never seen at the feeder before-it was with the cowbirds), VERY yellow 
goldfinches (isn't it early for them to be yellow already?), about 50 
cardinals, 2 eastern towhees, 2 brown thrashers, 3 fox sparrows (which I've not 
seen before), several DE juncos, mourning doves, about 20 white throated 
sparrows, the regular sparrows (house I think), a few purple and house finches, 
carolina chickadees, several downy woodpeckers and a single hairy, and of 
course an occasional gray squirrel just to keep it interesting.  needless to 
say I'm not getting much down except check out our 2 covered platform feeders!
