return with almost clocklike regulrrity from day to day and 
year to year, and they will bring other birds with them.  The 
feeding place should be a sunny south exposure, preferably 
protected from wind. The south side of a house is excellent, 
and has the additional advantage of allowing of easy observa- 
tion from the window. There should be a few bushes for a 
quick refuge from natural enemies; if there are none, cut 
some brush and by sticking the butts into the ground make a 
small clump to one side of the feeding place. There should 
be a tree or two near for placing suet; if there is not, a 
post or snag set up is almost as good-.
