SUET right now is more important than SEED !!!

1.00 a square now at walmart

save your meat juices and let them harden in a coffee can
until they can be frozen ....then low-reheat and strain out the meat
scraps and pour it into a mold.... and then re-chill

fat is fat to a freezing Bird.
The fishpond does have a de-icer.It doesn't really warm the water all that much,it just keeps a hole in the ice and keeps my pumps from freezing up.The birds are able to get to water where it spills over from the top pond to the lower.

Got peanutbutter suet out in a couple of feeders.Have had a Downy Woopecker visiting those.
