Hello Tweeters.
We have lot's of snow here in tacoma, about 5 inches now, and still
snowing.We never know how many Birds we realy had, to the Snow falling
this morning.Instead of one Foxsparrow, we only ever saw, we have 2
3 now in the open, also of one Hermit thrush we have 2.All our four
Suet-feeders are occupied with my own home- made Suet, which attract's even
Ruby and Golden-crown Kinglet,s. Even the Juncos and Song sparrows tried to
fly on the Suet-feeder, so i put a ground suet-feeder on a Tree,this feeder
is so full of Bird's there are fighting who are first to go on.
