Is there a Tractor Supply near you? They have good prices in general and amazing deals now and then. A couple of months ago I got 2 ten packs of suet for less than $8 total.

So, bird feeders off deck put them out back by shed. Put last of seed in.  Squirrels will be happy. 
 When empty will throw them out.  
wood one has seen better days. Plastic one shot. Metal one seen better days.

I’ve seen zero squirrels in my neighborhood so far this spring.

It is weird.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of grackles?? 

 

Usually they kind of come and go and are not a big problem. This year we are overrun with them and they are total bullies.

It's heartbreaking. About five weeks ago, robins were tricked into thinking spring came early. They were everywhere, as were cardinals, bluebirds, tits {the ornithological variety}, finches, etc. Then came the deep freeze, and temps hit -7. It's been eerily silent since. 😞
