This morning at the forest feeders at Blair, suet was the number 1 menu item.  With the cold weather we’ve been having, the birds need fat as fuel to keep them warm.  Our suet feeders are visited by a number of species, but today it was a downy woodpecker and both white and red-breasted nuthatches…
