Took part of the afternoon off from work and chores and just sat in my warm house and watched the birds for almost 2 hours.

The cold weather brings in a few species, especially to the suet, that I otherwise don't often see - pine warblers and yellow-rumped warblers in particular. Mocking Birds are year round here but I only see them at the suet feeder in cold weather. More male bluebirds than usual also. (come to think of it, I don't think I have seen any female bluebirds at the feeders this winter, only feeding on the privet drupes occasionally.)

There is something tasty just under the soil near the front of the lot that brings one Northern Flicker to one, relatively small area, where he will dig and poke intently, often staying in the same spot for several minutes. Seems his back is always to me with I train the binoculars on him, so haven't a clue what it is.
