Ann - I too love to feed the birds and have sparrows, finches, redpolls, nuthatches, chickadees but like my woodpeckers the best. They have been coming to suet on the deck for many years and I am getting to know them all. This is a hairy woodpecker and would be the baby that was born last year. He is pretty shy but posed nicley for this picture. The covering around the suet is to keep the blue jays out - there is lots of other stuff for them to eat and they will clean out the suet feeder quite quickly.........Laurie
