I have taken some of your advice. I now have a suet holder on one of my trees, a thistle feeder on the deck, as well as the 2nd feeder for which I've now bought black oil sunflower seeds. I went by a nearby Audubon center & bought the Peterson Field Guide to Feeder Birds of Eastern North America. It's a large glossy paperback for just $10. I also bought a booklet called "Enjoying Squirrels More (or Less)." I have mixed feelings about feeding the squirrels. Please respond to that in my new thread on feeding squirrels. Thanks!
