Since early October, Harsh has had a particular repeating and hungry visitor fly to her feeder every morning.“My Dark-eyed Junco friend has been returning to my backyard for the past two weeks and he always enjoys <a href="https://www.wbu.com/products/bark-butter/bark-butter/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=wild-birds-unlimited-franchisee-carol-harsh-shares-who-will-be-pecking-at-your-window-this-fall-juncos-and-sparrows-2711781" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wild Birds Unlimited’s Bark Butter</a>, which is a spreadable suet infused with loads of protein to keep the birds nice and toasty during the autumn nights,” said Harsh.
