Here’s a male downy woodpecker enjoying our suet this morning.
Woodpecker feeds hatchlings
Our woodpecker couple living in a tree in our backyard has had a brood. Cleverly, the woodpecker has detached the bark of the tree to serve as a protective door. Our view is a bit obstructed, but if you look carefully you can see a young beak as the female brings it some suet to eat.
