delcecchi Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I could probably look it up.... but how does one tell the sexes of red bellied woodpeckers apart? One hanging around here.... coming to the feeder. Also a hairy woodpecker showed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBo Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Love the woodpeckers. Been feeding them venison tallow all winter, just ran out. Hope they like the suet cakes as much as the real fat. eyeguy 54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawg Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 That's strange Eyeguy, I put the Nutty Butter out and it hardly gets touched. When I use the whiter ones the disappear in a day or two during the summer, but only gone thru a couple this year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delcecchi Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Within the last few days the bluejays have discovered my suet cakes. Also have a hairy woodpecker that has appeared recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
