Like I said before, I keep watching for the pl wp, and this morning I stepped outside and heard him loud and close. So I grabbed my shoes and took off to where I heard him at, the mud had dried and when I stepped on it, it cracked and he fell silent, I still say I never knew such a large animal could hide so well. I am trying to figure out a way to put something on my upside down suet feeder to attract the pileated, I think maybe he is afraid to try the feeder because there is nothing to hold onto except the suet cake holder and that aint very big. Do you think it would scare him away if I put a piece of something for him to brace against as he eats upside down? Or will he eat upside down? Any advice would help. Right now it is swinging on a chain, I know that chain is strong because a squirrel was on it and it did not break.
