Ignoring gravity, a small woodpecker clings to the underside of a lichen-covered branch.

Table for Two?
These two were enjoying their shared meal while I was cleaning out the birdbath - they seemed unusually unworried by my presence so I took the opportunity to grab my camera and get some shots. Then another Downy flew in and broke up dinner :-(

These little critters are fearless. I'm standing about 6 feet from the feeder here, filming with my iPhone. This is why I have to actually *walk around the feeders* to check them before I take them down to refill.

Just after I take this I turn around and there's one chasing a hawk off.

The point at which you realize your juvies have a suet habit, and you're gonna need to cut them off for their own good, so that they actually eat something else.

And then they sit, staring at the empty hooks, guilting you.

A young, female Downy Woodpecker reaches into the bars of a suet feeder, using an incredibly long tongue to reach the remaining fragments of suet.

Two young Downies, a male and a female, cling to the poles of a bird-feeding stand, staring up at at empty hook.

But *why* is all the suet gone?
