While in Southern Illinois this weekend at my Mother's home, I witnessed two Red Headed Woodpeckers and both male and female Yellow-Throated Warblers visiting and eating/drinking from her large Hummingbird feeders. The feeder is a big disk, so it was easy for the woodpeckers to grab on and sit for minutes at a time drinking the sugar water. I guess Mom has some well mannered hummingbirds as they perched close by to watch without harassing either species.
