Subject: [Tweeters] Pileated woodpeckers on feeders

The only feeder of mine the pileated is interested in is one of those
hanging rectangular cages with a solid 'woodpecker bar' inside it. Not one
of the most common visitors, I see one there maybe once a month, but it's
impressive when it comes, the whole feeder swinging wildly under the weight
of a bird much bigger than the cage, right outside the window!

i have at least those same numbers around my feeders, and all are voracious
suet customers... they also hang (usually upside down) on my large seed
feeders, unafraid to chase anyone else away while they are precariously
hanging... the same goes for the other woodpeckers in the yard (excepting
the pileated, which hasn't visited the feeders while i've been watching)...
