Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

The grackles finally stopped coming.  First, I stopped putting out suet cakes and then limited the birdseed on the ground.  Sometimes I would have seven or more grackles feeding on the ground at one time.  They crowded out the other birds.  Now I have not seen one in weeks.  This summer I had a regular visitor of a indigo bunting for the first time.  They are such a beautiful bird–aptly named. The downy woodpeckers are now feeding on the suet but I have yet to see a red bellied woodpecker.  I am waiting to see how long it will take before they rediscover the suet cakes.  I can’t remember the last one I have seen.  They are such magnificent colored woodpeckers.
