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.
