I guess I've seen the same in Cattails in the winter. Perhaps a good bug
hangout?
A local Red-Bellied fledgling has started to learn how to eat from
my "Squirrel Buster" feeder this week. The woodpecker looks pretty awkward
hanging from the perch, but it seems to be working for him. Most of his
body is hanging low on the perch, but his head and bill are large enough
that he can get in there and grab a seed or nut at each visit.
