I kept a Brown Thrasher in my yard one winter by putting suet through a meat grinder and putting the resulting strings of suet on the ground where he liked to turn leaves. The ground suet looked like white worms.

I started doing this when I saw juncos and carolina wrens up on my hanging suet. Juncos, sparrows, and robins etc. gather up the droppings from the woodpecker efforts and the suet. Anyway it's an easy thing to do and the birds seem to like the addition to the seed diet.
