My two redpolls that have been here for a week apparently got outed and more arrived today. Not 20 yet but 6-7 and feisty! Niger and those peanut suet blocks. Took a close up video of one at suet 5 inches from sliding door. Competition from red bellied woodpecker and Pileated is a little one sided., of course.
