Piliiated Woodpecker on tree

Thjese magnificent birds are climbers for sure - just look at those claws! They use their tail as a stabilizer on the tree and on the suet feeders too.

Downy Woodpecker on the tree

Walking up trees takes up alot of time in a woodpeckers life. Downy's are one of the smaller woodpreckers and you can ID them by their shorter bill.

Female Hairy Woodpecker

Hairy Woodpeckers are larger than Downy Woodpeckers and have a longer beak.

Pilieated Up Close and Personal

We have had so much fun watching a pair of piliated woodpeckers come to our feeders this year. We see 2 at a time fairly often and one day saw 3 out at our feeders. They spook easily though.

Piliated Woodpecker Eating

This piliated has found something to nibble on on this tree. Note how his powerful talk anchors his body like a tripod leg.

Creative Pileated Woodpecker

Woodpeckers use their tails to stabilize themselves as they climb around trees - and also suet feeders. We have had 2-3 piliated woodpeckers all winter long at our suet feeders grabbing snacks and sometimes lunch! If you look closely you can see his tongue.
