The last several winters, the bushtits have gone through several suet
cakes a year at our house. They seem to have a regular circuit and a
flock of about 20 comes through several times a day. They form a ball of
bushtits...I could try for a photograph, but I'll need some fast film,
they don't all fit at one time and are continually displacing one another.
