Neat observation Jack. A newer birder may often pick up on, and notice differently, behaviors that may not be described in literature and just taken for granted. I am going to guess here and describe a process that will occur with both humans and non-humans as their children grow up. Nestlings and

I’m also trying to establish Staghorn Sumac in my yard for winter bird food. Sometimes the autumn foliage is not just red, it can have a nearly complete rainbow of green-yellow-orange-red-purple! One of the challenges is removing the somewhat similar invasive Ailanthus. - - Dave Nutter > On

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Pileated eating suet
