Welcome to the suet feeder, woodpeckers! And chickadee!

Just watching out my back glass door, as numerous birds come to take advantage of our feeders, both seed and suet. The seed feeder is nearly empty, since I will be bringing it in for a thorough cleaning. Both suet feeders are full, and attracting lots of hungry birds.

Just in the last hour, there have been black-capped and chestnut-backed chickadees, dark-eyed juncos, a rufous-sided towhee, a wren, a downy woodpecker, a red-breasted nuthatch, and our northern flicker.

Flicker is perfectly fine sharing with the chickadee. The ground is teeming with birds too, mostly the juncos and towhee. Never a dull moment!
