Some  critter took the 
new suet cake that I put in the feeder at dusk, and  either ate all of it 
or left with it.  I couldn't find it around the  yard this morning and 
there was no pile of crumbs.  I doubt it was a  deer, but there is some 
dirt around the trunk below the suet container,  and there were fresh deer 
tracks there; and, I have seen deer stand up to  eat foliage.  With the way 
I have th ecage rigged, it would be quite  a trick for a deer to undo the 
suet cage with their mouth, but it's  possible- Hmmm.  The other suspect is 
a raccoon; there were no  tracks, but this is also inconclusive.  I will 
try to solve the  mystery this weekend.



Hi Jeff,
 If you are in need of suet as a replacement, you should contact Jane  
Coskren here on the list, as she still has cases of suet (12 cakes per case) for  
$5, and suet cages for $1 each. All funds go to support the statewide atlas  
project. At this price you can afford to feed a few 4 legged thugs!
