I'm going to try putting jelly and peanut butter out tomorrow. I went to the bird store in Little Rock today. I didn't get so extravagant as last time, but I spent enough. It's probably good that we don't have one locally. I'd be broke all the time. I'm also going to try mealworms. I got a small mealworm feeder that will attach to the pole. Now, if I can find some place locally to get mealworms...

I was so tempted today to get one of those "scare"owls. Their heads actually turn. I thought it might be good for getting rid of the Grackles, but I was afraid it would scare off the other birds as well.

Good Morning Sweetliberty! I put out regular raisins. I soak them overnight before I put them out. I'll soak the craisins too if I use them. I was once told to soak them to make them easier for them to eat. Catbirds and the Robins love the grape Jelly.

Let me know how the meal worms go. I thought of doing that but there are so many Starlings here and I know they would eat them up. They are as bad or worse than Grackles. I saw a Starling pin down a Juvenile Jay last year and start pecking at his chest. They are nasty too.

I put my humming feeder out yesterday. Hoping to see some travel through. I was thinking of putting an Oriole feeder up too. I see them every once in a while. Have you seen your Pilieated Woodpecker lately?
