Yesterday was warm enough to start a raccoon wandering. It filled its belly with suet and sunflower seed at my bird feeders early last night.
This morning eight turkeys, all bearded, spent half an hour gleaning spilled seed under the feeders. Come warmer weather, competition for hens will make them less tolerant of each other.
Yellow-bellied sapsuckers - regulars at my suet feeders for the last several frigid weeks - foraged on nearby apple and soft maple trees and totally ignored the easy but unnatural pickings at the feeders.
