Just put up more feeders, I guess! My suet feeder was being monopolized by
a Brown Thrasher, but he mysteriously disappeared when it snowed, so now the
feeder's accessible to Carolina Wrens, Chickadees, and my 2 favorites,
Brown-Headed Nuthatch & Pine Warbler (I never knew warblers came to feeders
at all, but this gorgeous little guy is apparently an exception).


I have had quite a few warblers since I started feeding suet with sunflower
seeds.

I have a mocking bird hogging my suet feeder and keeping most other

Any suggestions on ridding myself of him other than shooting him? I have
plac

canno

a slin
Gshot shooting near him just to scare him, but he keeps coming back and I
can't be there all day.
