I have an alpaca farm next door, and they gave me a wire suet feeder
stuffed with alpaca wool. After seeing tufts of insulation in our yard this
week (probably those nasty, opportunistic starlings have found yet another
way into our attic), I figure it is not too soon to hang this in a tree and
I have for several years offered sheep's wool in a hanging wire cage,
and at season's end, have found several nests with the wool either
lining the nest or incorporated into the construction of it. It is also
entertaining to watch them pulling the wool from the holder and carrying
it away.
Please join us for the next Monday Night Seminar at the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology. The Cayuga Bird Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium,
followed by the talk.
