I have never seen catbirds at my suet feeder and a catbird nests each year in my yard. I just wrote in a message about B. Orioles & RB Grosbeaks at my suet. I have never had them at my suet before. Naomi Sheldrake/ Wyers Point Cayuga lake

The catbird went to our suet feeder, but couldn't figure out how to get to the suet. We cut only the top off the package and hang it upside down inside the rest of the package to make it more difficult for starlings to feed. Yesterday we hung a Wildbird's bark butter feeder (bought for Sara Jane's birthday) near the suet feeder. After a few failed attempts with the suet feeder, the catbird noticed the bark butter feeder and began taking pieces off it. It's been back a couple times. We have never seen catbirds feed on suet. Have any of you observed this? Larry -- ================================ W.
