years ago -> maybe 15 years ago i was living in an upstairs apartment and he'd come each day....to a kitchen bird feeding station....
he was literally un afraid of me...and practically let me touch him...
man i used to spoil that bird...
it was there i noticed how clever nut-hatches were...watching this
one smart bird take individual safflower seeds and tuck them up under the roof shingles one by one where there's a little notch for a future stash.
but..........................
i know it's cold when the woodpeckers ultimately cooperate!!
and share the same suet feeder....i have a 4 banger cube out there right, hanging via coat hanger on a landing rope that goes 40 feet out to a big ole Blue spruce.... a 2x4 is nailed to the deck rail supporting the rope and i have a bark board rough cut pine stick (still has pine bark) screwed to it... so the red bellied wood pecker is on one side and the huge downy
(looks like a mini penguin) is eating on the other side.
