For the first time in the 20 plus years that I've been offering suet to birds, Pileated woodpeckers are coming to feed!
As you can see, suet feeders, designed for downy and hairy woodpeckers, are inadequate for these birds.
Pileateds are carpenter ant and borer grub specialists and can demolish an infested tree while excavating for food.
They also eat a lot of berries and fruits including grapes and bittersweet berries.
