around my black-oil sunflower and suet feeders every day. They'll fly right up to to me while I'm filling the feeders, talking to me in "nuthatchese", totally unafraid.

They're such happy little birds. I adore them. 😊

Peanut pieces and cracked corn. The woodpeckers love it too. It's getting so I have to fill the suet holder once a week now, but it's a small price to pay to keep the birds around in the winter months.
Seeing living creatures in our harsh winters is payment enough. 😉

Feeders (2),,,,daily.
Compressed Seed logs (2) - every 3 days.

I also throw seed on the deck. Morning doves prefer that location. I spend some serious $ feeding the birds and squirrels, but, living alone, they provide some entertainment.
