Getting Better All The Time

Our winter guest Hermit Thrush continues to develop remarkable skills at our suet feeder. The Thrush has been a regular for three years and this particular winter started early and is going strong. I see it virtually every day and presume it's more regular than that. BirdCam gives me more proof that the Thrush has progressed on the learning curve and is better able to grab hold of the wirework with its relatively week feet. As far as I can tell it's way ahead of the Northern Mockingbird in this skill. Evidently the suet is terribly tasty elsewise this time- and energy-demanding task would put the bird in a fuel crunch. I'm very glad I have yet another month to enjoy this spectacle. You're definitely worth the watch!
