Plenty of bugs for the WP's to eat now. They will be back in the fall if you put your suet out. I don't have any out right now. The crows found it and would break the chains on those little suet hangers so they could get to it on the ground. So I just took them down for awhile.

They come to one of my grain feeders occasionally, but not on a daily basis. I hear them down on the creek, though.

I've never seen a RH WP around here, but there is a park in Bethany, OK, that has a good population. Good place for folks to get one for their list. Here is a pic on one from up there.
