> Despite these very cold, bitter days here in Dartmouth, the Orange-crowned Warbler, seemingly, is doing well, reliably feeding from the plum pudding feeder. Found a recipe called a 'steamed fruit suet pudding' which calls for 2 C of suet, apples, candied fruit, 4 egg yolks, bread crumbs, sugar, nuts (I used crushed sunflowerseed hearts, etc). So, after 4 hours of steaming, and incredulous looks from my husband,:o) I had 3 puddings, one that I have given to my neighbor, Robie, who is also having the warbler visiting his yard too.
Anyway, the fresh suet pudding appears to meet with the warbler's approval as I have seen it several times already this morning, at the feeder.
However, there is now another challange out there for all the feeder birds, with the appearance of a Sharp-shinned Hawk seen yesterday on the snow in my backyard, after successfully catching a starling. It was a very quiet day at the feeders, for the most part, needless to say.
Anyway, who knows what will happen but I hope that all will continue to go well for this special visitor.
