Related: About this forumWoodpeckers out the wazoo!
I convinced my husband to bend the "one suet cake per day" rule--the starlings devour them an hour after he puts a new one out every morning--because baby red-bellies have left the nest and are learning to eat suet. We have four young females and at least two males. They are feisty, facing down blue jays and catbirds as well as the ubiquitous starlings and grackles. We have a bunch of baby downies and a couple of hairies, too.
I'm glued to the window.

There are 3 diferent sizes. The grackles and black birds are driving us crazy!
We have a red winged black bird coming in sometimes, too.
