Hey I recognize that bird, he's the one that ate 10 cakes of suet this past week! (Him and his buddies anyway.)

Here it is the grackles that are pigging out on the suet and BOSS.

I had a few of these at the feeder years ago. Unfortunately, Blue Jays, doves and squirrels have chased all the pretty birds away. We used to get quite a variety. Sad to lose them, but I do enjoy my regulars too. Except the pigeons...they can get on with their migration any time now as far as I'm concerned.

My Scrub and Pinyon Jays didn't stand a chance at the suet cage with 15 to 20 Western Tanagers fighting and brawling all day long. Now that the Tanagers are headed up to @R2elk s place, the Jays and Black-headed Grosbeaks are finally able to feed. I love my Jays. I am inundated with White-winged Doves however, they are pigs. Thankfully they can't eat from my feeders, only the smaller birds, Doves have to ground feed.
