fishingstar Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I have noticed the same thing. So I go for the cheapest jelly I can find. I found that Auldis is the cheapest. I still have a few jars left from last year but I did go through 2 cases. Mike89, smurfy and chaffmj 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawg Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Mods, changing my password only works for 1 try. Today I couldn't get on again. As far as birds, I have none! No cardinals, no blue jays even. How you guys doing. I'd like to post more if the mods can get my password right. smurfy and Mike89 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfy Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 It's sporadic. Some days I got a bunch then none. When I do some woodpeckers, bunch of finches and an occasional cardinal. I'm not sure what changed but I've gone through more suet cakes since last spring then I have the last 4-5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 My feeders are getting mugged right now with the cold weather coming. Even the squirrels and bunnies are at it. I have like 6 of the fattiest squirrels on the planet, and I'm trying to give them all cardiac arrest by dumping all the old Christmas cookies and treats out there. They eat everything! smurfy, chaffmj, Mike89 and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaffmj Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 We are getting white and red breasted nuthatches, chickadees, downy and hairy woodpeckers, goldfinches and fing red squirrels! I haven't seen gray jays or blue jays for a while which is very unusual. leech~~ and Mike89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaffmj Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Smurf, I haven't seen any of the evening grosbeaks for a while. They are the yellow ones. The red ones are the pine grosbeak shown above. Right now at our feeders are lots of male and female gold finches. smurfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just call them fish flies but don’t really know what they are. Tons of em were across our yard last weekend. And I know they come from the trees. Last year when I was trimming on the lift in April they were all over the trees, high up. We just had another big flock of robins come through. While eating dinner we saw or heard: Robins Cardinals Sandhill Cranes Crows Eagles Red tail hawk Mallards Geese Swans Turkeys and…. *other* It was loud outside for a while. smurfy, chaffmj and Mike89 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
