Starlings

The things you notice when you’re home unexpectedly lol.

Anyone have any ideas on how to keep the starlings off the suet without discouraging the woodpeckers?  I know they sell cages to keep out the big birds, but I don’t want to discourage the red-bellied woodpeckers who enjoy it as well, and I don’t want to turn it soley upside down feeders only as all sorts of other birds feed on it too.  I tried leaving it empty for several days, and they were slow to come back, but here they are……and unfortunetly there really isn’t a good angle to take a pellet gun to them…..

With my Christmas gift certificates I ordered several pairs of  heavy sweatpants.  Elastic around the cuff, cause they’re always to long for me and this way they don’t drag.  Soft and fuzzy inside, and not worn out.  They arrived today, and I’m curled up on the couch with my new warm fuzzy sweatpants, a fuzzy sweater, and a pair of puppies.  I think its time for a nap……
