It must be the bow.....

Even the birds appreciate a little Christmas decoration and cheer....The suet cake with the bow has become the most popular spot out there. Mr. Bluejay looks great with a nice bow under him.
The Downys are there constantly. The male has become very territorial when other Downys show up.

The Red-Bellied has no problem pushing his way in for a bit of "bow sitting" and suet.

"Smile....you're on candid camera"
The Carolina Wren gets a chance.
The Titmouse takes a turn......
....but would just as soon have a peanut :-) I can't believe he can fly away with that whole thing in his mouth, but he managed.
The Squirrel gets his own bow......and the woodpeckers share that one, too.
Well....OK...maybe it isn't the bow...its the suet :-) Might as well have a little fun while I'm taking photos.

It's obvious that all the 'critters' appreciate the Christmas decorations. I'm sure they all felt the suet was secondary.
