Hi All-- Pileated Woodpeckers occasionally visit our suet feeders. I've been noticing that the suet in the far feeder has been disappearing at an alarming rate. A female Pileated appeared yesterday, the first of the season. Coincidentally, this was a day after my fellow Northfield blogger Penelope wrote about this woodpecker (including a nice video clip of a woodpecker in flight) on Tuesday ( http://penelopedia.blogspot.com/2013/02/pileated-sighting.html). Thanks to Penny for sending the bird over to our house!
