With the onset of frigid weather, we usually get a few new birds showing up at our feeders.  This past week, I finally made some of my own suet from a recipe we have had for years.  The birds love it and finish it up ahead of other choices.

A few weeks ago, a male Red-bellied Woodpecker started enjoying our peanut and suet feeders.   My Christmas wish is for the female Red-bellied Woodpecker to come in with the male.  We have never seen them together.

We now have six Tree Sparrows as regulars.  They will stay with us until early March before heading back north.

 This morning, one Cedar Waxwing was in our crabapple tree briefly.  I was too slow getting ready for a shot.  Hopefully he will be back and bring some buddies.
