Woodpecker Central

We not only have a lot of deer and squirrels around here, we also have lots of woodpeckers. Today, my husband got a picture of the gorgeous red-headed woodpecker, which is very uncommon. S/he was eating out of the thistle feeder set up for the Goldfinches.

We also, as you know, have several Pileated woodpeckers that visit our suet cage. They scream, like monkeys in the jungle.

The red-bellied is quite common and comes often to the bird feeder.

Also common is the Downy, which is the tiniest and cuttest of the four and who loves the suet.
