Strange goings on around here in the bird world. We always have suet cakes placed for the woodpeckers which visit us. Of course the nuthatches and chickadees also eat a bit of that but this year we have 2 catbirds dining on them. We've never seen the catbirds do that before. Here's what one online source says about their eating habits: In summer, Gray Catbirds eat mainly ants, beetles, grasshoppers, midges, caterpillars, and moths. When fruits are available they also eat holly berries, cherries, elderberries, poison ivy, greenbrier, bay, and blackberries.
