With the cooler weather, Florida, I hung a finch niger seed sock a week ago. They won't touch it but will eat the no melt peanut suet cake literally 8" away. I got it on a whim at Home Depot for $.80 , they are resetting I guess. In the last two months downy woodpeckers have settled in and eat quite frequently. They might be small but like their bigger counterparts they take no ***** whatsoever.
I bought another feeder, it looks pretty cool... loaded with all the good stuff, but the only ones who will eat from it are the titmice... I think the perches are too small for the cardinals. So I'm going to buy a different one for that hook with either a small platform or larger perches. Got to keep the cardinals happy.
