Saw my first Juncos last weekend. They may have arrived earlier, but this time of year only home in daylight on the weekends. Saw white-throated sparrows in quantity the weekend before.

Found a suet cage last summer that the outer cage is large enough to really keep the suet in the inner cage out of reach of starlings and grackles. However, the inner cage that holds the suet blocks holds 3 blocks. Too deep. The smaller birds that can get into the outer cage can't reach all the suet through the wire of the inner cage. So essentially a poor design. I think I'll measure and saw off a suet-cake sized block of wood to insert in the middle to support two outer suet cakes against the wire so the birds can get to all of it.
