I have a yard full of woodpeckers! I hear them around late afternoon -- I just wonder what is bringing them? They've been "visiting" me almost everyday. Some have "blue" headress
(The neighbor had a pine tree that the bark is now completely gone! They had to end up removing it because it was dead)
Here are a few pics:
Tonight its a turtle ....its like the wildneress in my backyard!'

Both the large & the downy ones visit our back yard each winter. They love the suet. However, this past winter, I think the raccoons & squirrels kept stealing the suet feeders. Makes me mad because I love looking at the woodpeckers (and all our bird friends) as well.
They're especially vibrant against all of the winter white & dark tree trunks. IMO, they create some of the most striking winter pics.

@ScenicMaine Are your feeders on poles? If so, you can get raccoon guards to put on the poles. They will keep the squirrels and raccoons away. You can get them at Wild Birds Unlimited, and they will show you how to use them. I have one on my feeders that are on poles. For the feeder I have that is too near the trees for the guards to work, I have a large squirrel buster feeder. It really works.
Here's a picture of bird feeders with a raccoon guard.

Thank you for posting about the raccoon guard. I've never heard of them but will look them up.
I've got to find something to deter the theft of the suet feeders & food in the bird feeders.

@ScenicMaine It's very important that you buy the type that look like what I posted. There's a saucer type, too, but they don't work as well. Also, make sure it's a racoon guard and not a squirrel guard. Raccoons can get over the squirrel guards. The best thing to do is go to Wild Birds Unlimited and buy it there. It will save you alot of money on your expensive seed and suet.
