It was crappy and cold, raining, and windy on Saturday, so I didn’t do much except a little coding for D&T’s menu, and I made one upside down suet block feeder. That’s basically it, except for sitting outside, all bundled up with my feet heater on, watching my birds at the feeders and pond, and shooting at a few invading starlings. Anyway, the first to inspect and use the new feeder was, of course, the nosiest bird alive…a Carolina Wren. I love those little guys, and they’re almost always the first to check out anything new and different.

I made the feeder from roost hoce leftovers and a piece of 2×4, and just put it up with nails; it was too cold and windy to get out a drill, and there’s no jamming even a deck screw into the living rock that is osage-orange. Especially not a 3″ long one!
