Wordless Wednesday (Bird Suet)
The Red-breasted Nuthatch’s love their bird suet!
I think I need to refill the suet cage with some non melt suet!

Welcome!
Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Thanks to the many other authors that help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations.
I have always had a latent interest in birds and photography and have been lucky enough to find time to explore these interests over the last few years. I am very thankful to the Cattaraugus County Bird Club for getting me started, sharing their wealth of knowledge and for their wonderful programs. And many thanks to Tom for letting me share some of my adventures and photos on the Monarch Nature Blog.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

My little nuthatches love the suet too. I’ll be sad to see them leave when spring finally comes.

This is by far my favorite bird to watch at feeders. Unfortunately, I haven’t enticed any to my back yard in the city. Really great shots. The first one of the little bird holding the seed is primo!

This is our first year ever to have red-breasted nuthatches at the feeder all winter. It has been such fun to watch them. We have two. Such a sweet little bird.
I have one question…What word did you leave out of this post for “wordless” wednesday. tee hee…..

Nuthatches are such sweet little birds. 🙂

Great photos. We can’t encourage birds with feeders because they will get eaten by the cats..:-(
I love looking at everyone else’s birds though!
20 February 2008 at 5:04 pm
Gosh. You get the best photos. I’d love to see a red-breasted nuthatch here. I’ll be patient!
Get hopping with that suet!!!!

I can’t get over how long that bill looks! Such a cutie
Is there melt proof suet?
22 February 2008 at 9:23 am
Will, its for all seasons and the non melt part keeps it from getting sticky stuff all over the birds feathers! If the feathers get sticky the bird could get wet cold and or die! Only best to use during cold temps!
