Hairy Woodpecker

This woodpecker and it's mate have been coming in for an occasional meal.  I think this is the female as the other one has a bit more red.  They had always managed to hang on the backside of the suet, keeping me from getting a picture, but today, I had moved the suet just a bit and this was the result.

Patience pays off!

Mostly Mountain Chickadees of late and an occasional Oregon Junco or Robin. Caught this Robin yesterday before I refilled the suet.  Suppose to rain Thursday.  Still tempted to get a cat to go after the ground squirrels, but I'd hate it if the birds left too.  Sigh.
