It's a Woodpecker Wonderland.

I'm going through 10 or more suet cakes in a week's time.

In part because the Hairy Woodpeckers have fledged.

Now son on the left, Dad on the right.

Isn't he adorable?

Watching and learning.

Late in May I watched three, yes three Acorn Woodpeckers. There was a second male, but my pair of birds spent most of the day showing their displeasure and trying to run him off.  This photo was taken just a couple of days ago and once again there were three birds, though I only managed to capture two.

Here's a little female Downy Woodpecker.

She was eating... 

...next to a larger male Hairy Woodpecker.

Suet is yummy!

CAnnot forget about my many fine Flickers!
