I try not to be late refilling the feeders. <br /><br />I like your recipe. Where do you put these? Do you hang them? <br /><br />I put a suet/seed mix out and it's very popular with woodpeckers. <br /><br />Thanks for the tips!JGHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710652130966518173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3138030898546469752.post-18248055856605923962011-01-13T22:40:16.779+01:002011-01-13T22:40:16.779+01:00Plastic bags not bottles?
