Fw: [Ontbirds]Yellow-throated warbler

[Diane Salter]

Hi Birders

So glad to hear that the yellow-throated warbler is eating the special suet
mix.  I hope it contiues to survive in this difficult winter environment.

I'd be happy to share the recipe for this mix:

-1 lb lard
- a couple of generous spoonfuls of peanut butter
- soften in microwave but do not liquify.......add corn meal til thick
....... store in refrigerator

- crumble on the snow,  place in platform feeder, add to suet log, or spread
on the bark of a tree

I had a myrtle warbler eating this mix for a couple of weeks in early
December.  It can also be used crumbled for bluebirds.  Woodpeckers also
love it.
