At some point, I have forgotten to keep track of the species this year, but don't think I have seen anything different.

The common grackles returned about 3 weeks ago. They wipe out a suet cake faster than the starlings. The bluebirds disappeared for awhile after I stopped putting out suet, but are back again - after bugs in the lawn.

Got a family with 3 recently fledged Carolina Wrens who love the carport and the top of the window unit AC, and one fledging Carolina Chickadee. Can hear all manner of nestlings calling for MORE FOOD from daylight to dark. From all the racket up in an oak tonight, it appears that someone got et. could have been either a bird or a squirrel nest that got raided.   Didn't see the predator. Are there predator birds other than owls that might feed at night?
