[CT Birds] bird behavior

[Hopkinsus at cs.com]

I don't know if these are signs of impending spring, but the birds have been 
behaving oddly lately.

Yesterday, I had my first catbird of the season appear, then sit on my hulled 
sunflower feeder and chow down.  I've never seen a catbird sit on my feeders.

A few minutes later, both a junco and a white-throated sparrow also sat on 
the feeder to eat, which they almost never do, being ground feeders.

Another junco then came and sat on my thistle feeder to eat.

I then watched a Carolina wren hang upside down from my suet feeder eating 
off and on through the day.

Is anyone else seeing unusual behavior like this?
