Both the Song Sp and Junco though have to rely on the seed dropped to the base by the Goldfinches as I have not seen either take seed from the small slot. I have seven multistation feeders up so they are certainly choosing to land on the Niger only feeder and staying there. I am glad though for all the sparrows and juncos as now the pigeons have less to feed on as they were my only millet feeders this winter in any numbers.

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.
