Noted A. Gold Finch at my niger seed feeder on the deck so I decided it would be time to add a sock full of niger (Thistle) seed in the big Maple Tree. It didn't take long for the Chickadees to find it and land on it.  Later I had 5 A. Goldfinch eating from it and flying to the feeder on the deck.
    2 Ravens were back twice today.
    1 Red Breasted Nuthatch
    1  White Breasted Nuthatch
    3 Downey Woodpeckers
    2 Hairy Woodpeckers (both F)
    Usual Chickadees, M. Doves, A. Tree Sparrows, and           Blue Jays ( our pigies)

    Waiting for the Redpolls and the Pine Grosbeaks.
    Sad no Cardinals this year.
    Also have not had any Juncos or B. Creepers lately.
    Yesterday I also added a block suet feeder. I put a peanut butter suet mix block in it.  The chickadees found that first also.  We have been feeding plain suet in a wooden hanging feeder.
