This Morning Outside

An acquaintance I don't get to see nearly often enough shows up for a smidgen of suet. This Red-headed Woodpecker is perfectly comfortable hanging onto the wire bottom of the upside-down suet feeder, which is the only way to get at the food.

P.S. Starlings, grackles, and blue jays don't have the right kind of toes for hanging on upside down, so they shun this feeder.

New in 2016

The new Vortex Diamondback has been completely redesigned. It now has higher quality glass. It's more compact. It weighs 4 onces less than its predecessor.

When Michael and Diane Porter reviewed affordable binoculars ($200 to $300) for Bird Watcher's Digest (July, 2016), the new Diamondback won the highest rating of all the binoculars in the survey.

Upside down feeder
not for starlings!

Want an inexpensive long-lasting way to offer suet in upside down, the way starlings and jays don't like it?

Suet Upside Down

Cedar Upside Down Suet Box is perfect for woodpeckers, chickadees, and nuthatches. They can hold on by their feet and feed from below.

And they get it all to themselves.
