Mr. Pileated again allowed me to get within an arm's length of him at the suet feeder. I've got to stop fantasizing about his taking food directly from my hand, though -- it would be very embarrassing having to explain to emergency room personnel that the deep puncture wound in my palm was contaminated with beef suet and dried house flies!
