With the changing weather, we have had a change in our birds! Which is always exciting to see some new guys. We have a small flock (?) of Clark's Nutcrackers. These are not new to us, as we've seen them many times in Yellowstone and Teton Parks, almost yearly. They love our berry suet, and are loving the huge grasshoppers that are still hopping around. I was just reading about them and was amazed at what I read. I read that a Nutcracker can plant an entire forest in its lifetime. Because he hides so many seeds that he just doesn't need. Up to 33,000 per season! That is a lot of seeds! But I have to say that I am not all love for these guys. They have a very annoying call, and they drive our cat crazy!
