canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Jun 04, 2007 11:33 | #1 Until a few days ago, I hadn't seen this guy since there was snow on the ground. Now all of a sudden, he's come back to raid the suet cakes I keep out. Instead of eating it here, he seems to be taking loads of it off into the woods. I guess that means he has a nest close by. It's kind of neat that he remembers where the suet is.

Jun 04, 2007 12:32 | #3 Thanks Liz. I have a pair, but haven't seen the female for some time now. I will see one or the other maybe once every couple of weeks since warm weather got here. Before that it was every day. The same with the downys. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Jun 04, 2007 12:35 | #5 Thanks Adi. I also saw a rare redheaded woody this morning, banging on a telephone pole. But he was too fast for me an at an odd angle. Made my day though. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Aw lucky you - only thing that raids my suet cakes are a pack of starlings. Love the closeups - the bird really stands out on the light green background. Nice work. How far is the feeder and what lens did you use? 5DMkIV + some Lenses

Jun 04, 2007 14:42 | #9 Thanks Joe. They are very nice birds and become quite tame, but they don't go that far North. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Jun 04, 2007 14:59 | #13 Thanks Michele. I sit in my window hide. He can see me, but only my head behind the camera, so he can brave that, otherwise he'd be out of there like a shot. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
