Ed - and everybody else who serves peanut butter to birds (mixed with seeds, cornmeal, lard etc.) - you should read the ingredients on any peanut butter - all the Jifs, Skippies etc. contain of sugar, molasses and other ingredients which might well kill hatchlings. Buy only organic - which contain only peanuts and salt. Costs a bit more but shouldn't kill them!

First one, tonight was the first time in 21 years that I have been here that I've seen a pair of wood ducks flying from tree looking for nesting spots pretty cool. I have had them behind the house many springs but never looking for nesting spots. 2nd one, is it too early for bluebirds to be nesting? I have 2 bluebirds coming to my feeders which is late here they like the mealworms,fruit and nut mix, but also the peanut butter which I have read can kill hatchlings which I do not want. Any answers would be appreciated contact me personally as to not clutter ct birds unless you think it is useful info for others.Ed Bailey Monroe
