Current Issue: December 2020
The Steller's jay graces the cover of our last issue for 2020. While some folks are quick to denounce these impudent loud-mouths, contributor Ferris Weddle finds it rather difficult to dislike such a loveable rascal as this extremely intelligent bird. How much does Julie Zickefoose love peanut butter suet? Our esteemed contributor counts the ways and shares her recipe for the soft, crumbly dough that brings all the birds to the yard. Also, readers wonder: Where’d the downies go? Where do birds sleep? Birdsquatch, our hairiest columnist, has answers. Find all this and more in the December issue of WBB!
