I'm amazed at the variety of non-traditional "feeder birds" I have this spring. A variety of warblers eating suet and grape jelly, and even a pair of clay-colored sparrows are eating suet - something I've never seen before.
Let's hope this warmer weather will create a nice hatch of bugs, and more larvae will be available, so they will have more traditional snacks to fuel them up for the next leg of their migration! I was also thrilled to see "my" orchard oriole pair back this morning - they nested close by last year and I was able to watch their kids grow up, as they brought them to the jelly feeder.
