Awesome! I wish I had that as a feeder bird. I expect that if it wants the suet that badly that it will find a way to get it, provided it isn't scared away. I don't think ravens are as gymnastically, physically astute as gray squirrels, but if there's a will, there will be a way. If you want to encourage it to keep trying, why not hang a piece of raw bacon from the suet feeder into the raven's reach? Squirrels won't be interested in that.

It appears he is trying to figure out how to get to the suet. There is no close perch so he sits on the railing which puts it about two inches out of his reach. Perhaps we'll scatter some peanuts or corn, but the squirrels may be a deterrent to that idea. Anyway, it's really nice to get such close looks of this fascinating individual. -- asher -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: Welcome and Basics<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME> Rules and Information<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES> Subscribe, Configuration and Leave<http://www.northeastbirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm> Archives: The Mail Archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html> Surfbirds<http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds> BirdingOnThe.Net<http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html> Please submit your observations to eBird<http://ebird.org/content/ebird/>! -- -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
