Greetings,

I have been hanging a suet cake for years during the winter here at our home in the foothills of the Big Hole Mountains. It would last a week or two easily. This past month however we have a few Clark’s nutcrackers and at least 3 Steller’s jays that have been decimating the cake in one day. I watched a Clark’s carrying off a big chunk this morning He perched three different times on the tops of conifers as he worked to the back of the yard and then flew out of sight towards the forest. The gang works on it throughout the day.

In a fast walk this morning at 9am (41 degrees and all the snow gone now) I also saw:

Black-billed magpies 3
American Robins 4 (had not seen any for a few weeks)
Bohemian Waxwing 35
Townsend’s Solitaire singing
Mountain Chickadee 6
