We live on Fidalgo island now and haven't seen them at our feeders here,
but when we lived in Kirkland in a 3rd-floor apartment backed by a ravine
full of Doug fir and Redcedar, we would see them on the suet occasionally.
I have photos from 12/25/13, 11/27/15, 1/23/16. Those were just the times I
managed to photograph them. They were never frequent and never stayed long.
We miss them!
