Beautiful pictures! I love the last picture - that one looks like he is giving you the what for! Do you know what it is?

Suet will bring 'em from all over. One winter I had the idea to make suet for the birds and went to a local butcher shop to see about getting fat. I figured surely they would be happy to get rid of it, but you guessed it...I had to pay for it lol. That was the last time I made suet
I think my favorite pic in your group is the woodpecker. I have taken shots a couple different times of one but none turned out as nicely as yours

Last time we went to the butcher shop here, he was still giving away bones and fat for free. ...Then again, he also had flies all over the place with raw meat everywhere. Sorta made me wanna lose my lunch a few times! ....I don't think he's in business now - can't remember.

A good time to get scraps is deer during hunting season. If you have friends that hunt, they might be happy to have to take the "icky" parts away.

That is a brown thrasher. It is the Georgia state bird. He /she was taking a dust bath when I interrupted it. They are hard to get pictures of as they spend most of their time in dense under growth. I took these pictures from my sun room window about five feet from the bird.

Has this sort of "paranoid" look, don't it??
