A downy woodpecker, Dryobates pubescens.

This is not my suet feeder. My feeder somehow only attracts starlings. En masse.

Full sizes here and here.

    Suet is a great way for birds to get some fat, which is important during winter in colder climates. You can make your own, but be cautious of the type of lard you use.

      Awesome thanks! I’m in Maine so they’d definitely enjoy some more fat, we will give that a try, thanks again
