Rupert and all-

I'd be curious to know how often this happens.
About two or three weeks ago, our local flock
also found our suet feeders, and now scenes like
yours occur daily. It's pretty cool. As a
non-native, I hadn't thought that Bushtits would
be likely to hit the suet, but they appear to
relish the stuff. Is this totally normal, or
rather rare?
