    Do mice eat your bird food?

    i havnt heard of someone around here having a house mouse problem in a while. i guess its because theres a high population of cats around here. we have a big cave cricket problem though. and i know that mousy stank my pet boy has plenty of that foul odor.

    Today at the feeder

    i looked out my window and found these guys in a tree down the block. i got confused because i noticed they were grackles. i guess the warm weather the last few days let them come back b/c i usually dont have grackles in the winter at all, although i did have a lone grackle in december.

    Song Sparrow?

    Hi, i need help identifying this bird species. I've had them coming to my feeder for over a year now every winter and from what they look like i think they are song sparrows but i just want to make sure. The yellow is a piece of corn not his beak.

    A Question Or Two About Suet.

    if your not getting any birds to go at ur feeder, try smearing it onto a tree trunk. usually works since thats where the clinging birds usually are. i started out with that and it got the birds to know that suet was availible in my yard, and then they moved on to the feeder.

    Today at the feeder

    yea last night i purposely took down my squirrel baffle off of my feeder because i knew it would end up gone and my feeder broken. (even tho its already squirrel proof, i use it to keep the seed dry) Its still windy here on long island and really cold with the wind chill -__-

    same birds as usual. the big male red bellied woodpecker showed up today. and to my surprise a lone grackle. he should be south shouldnt he? he seemed a little raggity as well.
