Gail, For the first time since we've lived here (12+ years), we have a Ruby-crowned Kinglet coming daily to the suet feeders. In addition my tame Pine Warbler has returned (with a female) after skipping a year and on Christmas Day a half dozen Eastern Bluebirds arrived. In addition, a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk will take suet if given the chance. Pretty exciting yard happenings this year. Hope yours finds your suet too. ///////// Arlene Ripley | || Calvert County, MD | 0 || aripley@nestbox.com | || http://www.nestbox.com || ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
