I was already taking pictures of this lovely female cardinal when the downy woodpecker came in. He nipped her tail a little, hence the indignant attitude!

Check out these photos.
My hubby made this swing birdfeeder that we hung up that morning. A short while later we saw this woodpecker eating my homemade suet cupcake that I had put in the feeder.
We built our own bird feeder pole from a piece of treated wood and iron planter hangers. As you can see from the picture, our feeders attract interesting birds.
I snapped this photo of a pileated woodpecker pecking at a fresh tree stump in my neighbor's yard.
This is our resident pileated woodie who comes once a day to the feeder. A young one is also coming now.
I tried to get a good picture of this woodpecker. I had to be quick as he would dart down, grab a sunflower seed and fly back up into the tree to eat it.
It is not very often that both the male and female pileated woodpeckers come for suet.
I had a woodpecker visit me today. (2-11-2005) We have and are still going through a blizzard that has dropped roughly 15 inches of snow. The birds are coming out of every where to eat the seeds and suet. By kate
I put suet out for the woodpeckers. This baby had not found where I hang it yet. It went to the hanging feeder where I have Nyjer seed for the finches.
My daily visitor the woodpecker. I love watching him play with believe it or not, 1 or 2 others woodpeckers. They fly around chasing each other. This was taken from my bedroom window
