So, while we had the woodstove going yesterday, I decided to render some suet in one of my cast iron pans. Now the pan is completely seasoned! Suet/Tallow seems to work way better than even high-heat safflower oil (which left weird sticky spots and wasn't preventing rust). Spending some of my snow day re-seasoning my pans.

Filled up the bird feeders and threw out some goodies for my corvid pals (leftover canned corn, bits of suet, peanuts, dried mealworms, sunflower seeds). Blue Jays (diindiisiwag in Ojibwe) were especially pleased!

Don't forget to feed your feathered friends (especially if they are used to you feeding them)!

#Robins will keep coming back to your garden with 1 nesting box upgrade in January

These small wooden shelters trap heat with a low entrance, keeping birds warm and safe in winter.

"Those looking to bring robins into their garden have been encouraged to upgrade their bird nesting box to a #WinterRoostingBox by House Digest. These small wooden shelters trap heat with a low entrance, keeping birds warm and safe in winter. Nesting boxes, on the other hand, are only intended to protect eggs with a higher entrance to allow for ventilation. This upgrade can be completed simply by using wood filler, weather-resistant screws, and untreated wood shavings. Wild Birds Unlimited recommends flipping boxes upside down to lower the entrance, and filling ventilation holes to prevent heat from escaping. They should be put in a secluded spot, protected from wind, snow, and rain, about six feet off the ground.

"Gardeners have also been told to leave #suet balls in the garden. As food sources dwindle, robins will seek alternative sources of nutrients.

"Richard Green, an animal nutrition expert at Kennedy Wild Bird Food & Pet Supplies, told House Beautiful that the hard, white animal fat is one of the best options for bird food at this time of year."

@MaQuest Cool! I made something similar last year using hand-rendered suet (instead of lard). I'll be posting about that next week!

I made, with a fair amount of help from Mr. mumbo jumbo, a 3-sided log suet feeder from our woodpile. Made the suet, too. 😉 #birding #wildlife #suet

Here's the first question:

Anyone got any tips on how to diversify the species coming to your bird feeder? I've got suet and an unknown mix of seed. This is what my setup currently looks like.

The lady at the #butcher shop was telling me about how hardcore #chefs use #suet to make pastry crusts and they are the best. Now, I am starting to obsess over using it masa for #tamales.
