		maybe the presentation isnt right.......... 
for the smaller downies as i have both kinds 
the bigger Harries  cuz they have a brownish tuft of hair 
 between the beak and their head 
it acts as a shock absorber when they rat ta tat tat 
on a tree drilling it for bugs 
 
i find they want a long profile to land ,survey, and approach 
as they are very cautious with much bobbing and weaving to  
make sure nothing has changed since their last visit. 
 
the wife's been buying suet at Job lot about 7 cakes per week 
so that their is several options available.  
they seem to have a pretty good selection there  
and the Nutties (i callem) nuthatches 
and the smaller downies like the peanut suet... 
 
nuthatches are quite fond of the smaller spanish peanuts 
and like Cardinals favor safflower seed which looks 
like a hulled sunflower seed except they are white.
