Attracting Pileated Woodpeckers
Comments (5)I discovered this past year that always having suet available made a huge difference in the number and type of birds that visit my yard. The 4 suet feeders are the only feeders outside the kitchen window and seed feeders are located some distance away. This allows the smaller birds that like suet to easily feed. The Pileated Woodpecker in the pic below showed up this winter but I have to be standing in the kitchen to know when he has visited. He doesn't hang around very long!...See MorePileated Woodpecker
Comments (5)Great photo! Almost all of the times I've seen them, they're on tree stumps, chomping away....See MoreAnother pic of Pileated Woodpecker
Comments (4)Thanks konrad, I do have Photo Bucket, but haven't been to their site for awhile. Catherinet, when I first saw him land on the tree stump, I ran for my camera thinking for sure he would be gone by the time I got out the door to take pics, but he was still there. I know he had to see me taking pictures. He was only 15-18 feet from where I was standing on my front porch....just on the other side of our driveway. I got 42 pictures.....2 were videos of him pecking away at that tree stump. I was so happy that I saw him that close because I had seen him flying a few times and he always landed in a tree across the street. Then he would go on the backside of the tree where I couldn't see him....See MorePileated Woodpecker in our woods this morning!
