Yesterday after I stocked all the feeders I secured the lids on
the cans, turned, and began to walk back past the feeders and
bird bath/pool (with heater) to get wood to build a fire.

Suddenly I froze, there not three feet from me on the suet feeders
were a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker and a Downy Woodpecker.
We sat there and looked at each other for quite a while. I was
very surprised -- the Downy has been quite cheeky, but the
Sapsucker, well I always thought they were very shy and
skittish -- at least the ones here have been.

This one has laid claim to the blueberry suet block that is in my
small suet feeder. I have been able to study him at great length
through the scope.

Blessings

If I keep a green bough in my heart, 
the singing bird will come.
Chinese Proverb

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. 
It sings because it has a song.
