As if we didn't already have enough trouble keeping the suet cage on the tree... We know that squirrels will sometimes eat their fill, and there may be raccoons at the fat feeder from time to time, both of whom knock the cage to the ground and occasionally carry it off into the woods. Thankfully, we don't seem to have bears in the area—we'd have to take the suet cage down entirely if it came to the attention of local ursids—so the only other problems would be over-exuberant woodpeckers and an overabundance of strong wind, both capable of carrying the feeder off its uneasy moorings. This morning, however, I discovered another potential problem I'd quite forgotten. Crows love suet, and they're capable, even if it's only one, of putting a serious dent in the offering. Of course, you rarely have one crow. A single bird finds the fat, but the corvid can't keep a secret. Soon, it tells friends, and equally soon, the cage is empty. I hope this guy, who took a mouthful, is either a loner or has a bad sense of direction.
