Even though it is just a cat bird, this is the first I've seen take the jelly.

Excellent shot. Mine just showed up today also. I don't have the grape jelly out yet though, but mine have always preferred suet. :)

Thanks Mitch. The only thing hitting my suet is the chickadees.

Beautiful shot, I've only seen one of these briefly down here, I sure didn't know they liked grape jelly.

Thanks Anke and Sharon for the feedback.

I had no idea a cat bird would eat grape jelly. This is the first one I have noticed at our feeders to boot.
