In terms of unusual feeder birds,  my resident hermit thrush has become a 
regular visitor at the feeder, but has developed a different approach from 
the kinglets described by others.  It watches the suet feeder and whenever 
a woodpecker is on the suet cake, it flies to the ground underneath, eating 
the pieces dropped by the woodpeckers.  It has tried eating directly from 
the suet cakes, but, of course, its head is not equipped for pounding on 
frozen suet.  It also comes to the deck rail to eat chopped up 
grapes.  Unfortunately, the squirrels have discovered that they also like 
chopped up grapes, so it's hard to keep grapes available.  It will eat some 
seeds as well, appearing to prefer millet, but I have seen it eating 
sweetgum seeds off the ground.  This has been going on for several weeks now.
