Some were even trying to eat at the upside down suet feeder. A few juncos regularly eat at my hanging feeders, and a couple also have taken a liking to suet, as well as shelled peanuts. In the past a couple have also eaten niger, though that seed is not on offer in my yard at the moment. Most of the juncos do seem content with the white millet, but a minority always seems adventurous and willing to experiment. I've never witnessed this curiosity among any of the other ground-feeding sparrows, such as Song and White-throated. Maybe juncos are smarter. . . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blake Maybank Editor, "Nova Scotia Birds" author, "Birding Sites of Nova Scotia" http://maybank.tripod.com/BSNS.htm 144 Bayview Drive White's Lake, Nova Scotia, B3T 1Z1, Canada maybank@ns.sympatico.ca (902) 852-2077 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
