severe temperatures
watching chickadees pecking on frozen suet squares wasn't cutting it
as they hardly were making a dent in the now "wood like suet" ...
so i grabbed one......
brought it inside and grated it with a cheese grater into much smaller bite sized pieces for them
now the tuft TIT mice ,Nuthatches and Chickadees are loving life.
little things like this goes a long way in getting them enough fat to burn in these frigid temperatures and survive.
