Dennis and Tweets,

Here in Shoreline, we've had Hairy Woodpeckers occassionally, but not often. The Downy and Flicker are regular visitors here, also. Last summer we had an adult Hairy feeding a fledgling at our suet feeder! That was a much appreciated sight. Which reminds me, I need to go fill the suet feeder.
