Hi Billy and all
I have had a Crepper near my feeders on several occasions this winter, but 
it does not seem to be going to the suet. I have a Hoary Redpoll coming to 
my feeder most days. The Field Sparrow has not been seen at my feeder for 
several weeks now. There is a flock of 20+ Tree Sparrows that comes to my 
feeder before sunrise daily. Feeds for about 2-3 minutes and then 
disappears. I am not sure why they are so flighty. I have not been able to 
see the Field Sparrow with this flock. I suspect the Field Sparrow may still 
be around the neighbourhood somewhere as maybe the 2 Song Sparrows. I find 
that most sparrows seem to make it through the winter so my feeling is they 
are around somewhere.
So far, we have not had much of a storm in my area of Pictou Co. today. Very 
little wind and almost no snow or rain. Sounds like your area is getting hit 
a little heavier.
cheers
Ken
