Janie,
How many starlings are you feeding? I've had several crows empty a suet feeder in record time when I could get only small chunks of beef fat from the butcher to fill it.

gnu,
I think you must have gotten the cold that was intended for us?
It's nice when old friends return. I don't expect to see robins here for another three weeks, but with our crazy warm weather, who knows what is possible?

Red squirrels are adorable rats, when there is only one around. Ours has his own feeder. Unfortunately the crows have learned how to steal peanuts from it. Today I watched a crow taking two nuts at one time.
