While this isn’t showing much snow, I love the colors of the popular woodpeckers in our climate. In our new place, I have finally observed a Northern Yellow Shafted Flicker and a Hairy Woodpecker. I thought by now in my life I would have watched many, many of these. The photo here is of a Female Hairy Woodpecker on my suet feeder with a male downy woodpecker in flight on the left. I have one more to come.

Great photo, Tom. And how could I forget the flicker? We get them throughout the day also.

Have also heard that you can add hot sauce to the mix — the birds do not care since they are not affected by it, but it will keep the squirrels and raccoons out of it.
Worth a try.
