It's cold out.
Fat snowflakes drift aimlessly to the ground.
As the flakes descend, the creature's appetites rise.
The birds can't get enough of the suet.
This one is composed of lard and peanut butter, cornmeal, oatmeal and sunflower seeds, with a few raisins mixed in.
Yum!
High in a tree, crows weigh their chances of getting to the food.
Wild turkeys have staked their territory over the corn on the ground,
and when the crows try to encroach, one bold turkey keeps pushing them back.
Early in the afternoon, a regal red-shouldered hawk swooped in to check out the birds on the deck.
They scattered, and he came up empty. This time.
As he left the deck, he grabbed at the suet but couldn't get it loose.
He'll be back.
With all the creatures around him eating,
the carpendar ant on our deck doesn't even pause for a snack.
