In eighteen years living back in the woods, there have always been  
pileateds around, but only once before this season has one come to my  suet.  The 
last three days there has been a male working the suet  regularly.  Today he 
brought his significant other.  
 
I did have a Red-tailed Hawk at my suet during a previous snow event maybe  
ten years ago.  Kinda funny watching that episode.
