I have Black-Capped Chickadees already, Tufted Titmice, Downy Woodpeckers, and the other day I had a Yellow-Shafted Flicker on my suet. ( Oh, and the Nuthatches have been around too.) No Juncos yet althought, it's been getting relatively cool here in N. Indiana so I decided to start putting out the suet to see if I'd get any takers. I usually don't see the above mentioned birds until late October early November. My hummers left early also. Last year I had one until November! I think we're in for a cold winter up here.
